Study hard: Get good grades in college and then apply to dental school. After dental school you will then have to do an oral and maxillofacial residency. The other option is to get a dual degree md/dds and specialize in oms.

Committment: You must attend dental school and then do very well to be near the top of your class. Then you have to be accepted into a residency program which is from 4-6 years depending on whether you desire to get a medical degree as well. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a very competitve fied, but it is also very rewarding.
