Answer in Comments
How long does it take to become a dentist, some people say 7 years others say 8, and what is the difference between becoming a dentist in 7 years or 8, in other words what does this depend on, also if anybody knows what is the intensity of dental school.

Its around eight years from what I read.
The differences maybe from the type of field one wants to get into. If they want to do surgery and medicine than they have to complete the four years at dental school.
And if they have no desire to do medicine or surgery than my guess is that it would take lesser time to complete.

it differs from country to country. In India, it takes five years from when you finish school to when you are holding a certificate that says you can be a dentist.
