Hey, Bryant above has outlined a really good scope of things you should care about. Just to elaborate a little, to become a dentist, you first need to go to a college, apply to a dental school, go there, and graduate with a certification. Seems simple enough, but it's a tough process where you will need to keep up both your grades and your extracurriculars in medicine and volunteering. Reach out to others (like you are doing now!) about the path, get involved in different communities, and don't give up!
