Can I get in med-school or dental school with a biochemistry degree?

I'm considering in getting biochemistry for my major, but I'm not sure of what I want to study. I want to be a dentist, but I'm also interested in cardio thoracic surgery and I haven't decide what to do yet. I'm also thinking in not declaring until my sophomore year in college.

I will soon be attending dental school and am trying to gather information on specialties. General dentists seem to see a wide variety of cases, whereas specialists focus only on certain types of situations. In what ways do specialties, such as periodontics and endodontics, remain exciting if many of the patients present similar problems?
