Do dental school look down on community college?

I am a transfer student in a 4-year university with 66 transfer credits. I took my low dev bio classes, chem, ochem, physics classes in community college. I saw many posts that dental school prefers people who took their prereqs in a 4-year university. I did some research about it and some schools only accept 30 to 60 community college credits. I had a question to this-I have 66 credits, does this mean that they select the classes that are needed in the 66 credit that meets up to 30 or 60 credits? I am sure that my prereqs for dental school are below 60 credits, so I do not need to worry about under qualification?

Also, how bad does it look for people who went to community college? As a student who graduated high school out of the US, this was the best choice for me to go to a good university. I feel bad about myself now since this would give a negative impact on my application to dental school. I want to go to dental school, and I am planning to try until I get accepted to dental school. However, if the reason for rejection of dental school is that I got most of my lower dev pre-reqs in community college, I would love to know if there is another path for me to succeed to get in. Thank you so much!
