what are the steps to becoming a dermatologist and a dentist?
hello, i want to become a dermatologist. I plan on taking a different route and going into dentistry, becoming a dentist and then opening up an office and practice multiple things. I want to include Botox, lip injections, skin care and many other facial related concepts, while still being a dentist. I think this is a great idea and I have it planned in my head, but i'm not sure on how to go about it in the schooling aspect and how I can cover all of the criteria to become what I have in mind.

Dentists don't do botox. Dentists work on teeth only. They attend a dental school for 4 years and take a board exam. After passing the exam, they are allowed to practice. You should definitely work or volunteer in a dental office or dental clinic and determine if dentistry suits you. I did that and came to the realization that it was not for me.
