I'm not clear if you're in high school or college. I'm sure most college websites will give you the course requirements for a major. Unless you qualify for advanced placement, you will be starting with general biology classes. Other sciences may be required. There are likely to be differences from college to college, so you'd best get your information from the college you expect to attend.
If you are already in college, you are still best checking the websites of any dental school you are considering for enrollment. Generally there will be 2 years of chemistry, 1 of biology, 1 of physics. The physics will likely require calculus .
The requirements for admission to my alma mater, NYU College of Dentistry, are representative of what most schools will require:

Any human focused biology class should be good. If Anatomy & Physiology is an option I think that should be a top choice. Other options could include regular biology or microbiology. You could also look into chemistry options as well since a lot of bio majors also require chem classes as part of the degree, and a lot of the time it’s needed for admission into dental school too. Some math classes might be important, like Stats or Calc as those are both important in undergrad & post grad. I wouldn’t necessarily say there’s any truly wrong choice though, so go with what interests you! Good luck!!
