Can I become an odontologist with a BA in anthropology?
POSSIBLE ANSWER: Working as an odontologist requires training beyond the bachelor’s level. Most forensic odontologists have completed dental school and have a DDS (Doctor of Dental Science) degree and some extended training in forensics beyond the DDS. A thorough basic knowledge of human teeth and dentistry is required. Dental school requires a previous bachelor’s degree; the BA in Anthropology would count, although you might find you need other prerequisite courses as well.
