Kaisha,

You note that you want to "...spend a significantly short time" to become an Air Force dentist. Here is the link to their program: https://www.airforce.com/careers/healthcare/dentist. Unfortunately, there is no quick path to this career. These are the requirements before you can be considered:
Degree: Earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) degree from an ADA-accredited institution.
Residency: Complete a dental residency program that is acceptable to the Air Force Surgeon General.
Licensing: Hold an unrestricted dental license to practice in a U.S. state.

Becoming a general dentist typically takes 8 years of higher education. This involves a 4-year undergraduate bachelor's degree followed by 4 years of dental school to earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) degree. Afterward, you must pass national and state licensing exams.

If you are sure you want to pursue this career path, I recommend talking with your college advisor, researching dental schools in your area, and consider joining the Air Force. When you are in the military, they will help pay for your schooling.

I wish you the best as you consider your future,

Jenny
