No, 齒科 means dental clinic. Dentistry or dental medicine would be 치의학 (齒醫學) or 치과학 (齒科學).

Without 것, 가는 is an adjective phrase that describes the noun that immediately follows. E.g.
가는 남자가 - the man (that is going)
You need the 것 to refer to make a gerund that refers to the general act of "going". E.g.
잠을 자는 것은 좋다 - Sleeping is good.
I suggest reviewing the tips and notes for the Gerund skill accessible from the mobile/desktop website (not the app unfortunately)
