So, I looked at taking an HSPS for medical school and decided against it. It's a great deal if you're concerned about debt/want to practice as a general practicioner (ie. you don't want to be an oral surgeon).
Additionally, check out the guard - at least for the Army they have a repayment program (after you've taken on loans) that's actually pretty good and allows you to take a civilian residency.
I'm not 100% sure that dentistry students take residencies, but, it'll be a good option if you do take them.
