Depends on the DDS: Usually it is at least 40 hours a week. If there is hospital calls, then there will be more work hours.

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.
