Hi! I already have my B.S. degree in math and computers, and I'm going
back to school, taking a bunch of undergrad classes in biology and
chemistry so I can go to dental school. Since I'm working full time, it
will take me four semesters, or two years to take these classes before
I can start dental school. Oh yeah, and I just finished a summer term
of Psychology, as some schools like to see that on the transcript too.
(All the schools list the prerequisite classes you need right on their
websites.)

As for having an undergrad degree, some of the schools I've looked at
say on their websites that technically you don't need one, just the
prereqs, but they say it's rare they accept somebody without an
undergrad degree. Besides, if I didn't have a B.S. degree, I'd hate to
have it come down to me and one other person with equal credentials
except the other person has a B.S. degree and they end up choosing that
person over me because of that. I figure do everything I can to get
into dental school. :-D

Does it really matter what undergrad degree one has if
they think they may want to become a dentist?

Example.... could a person have an undergrad degree in
say engineering or computer science or accounting and
still become a dentist?
