Also, talk to your own dentist. He will be able to tell you much and let you know what might be good schools in your area to consider.
Look into you local community college, many offer courses that are both very comprehensive and economical.
Also, talk to you school counselor about intern, volunteer, coop, and shadowing programs that will allow you to experience this career area before committing to training.
Please let me know if and how this helps. Keep me informed. I would like to follow your progress.
