Can you claim medical expenses and school expenses on your taxes?

I had a wisdom tooth pulled last your that I did pay out of pocket no insurance cost about $1200, Also paid to take a dental assistant program which cost $1200. Would I be able to claim these expenses when i file? I already claim my son and last year I got back about 4k. So would it help me get back a little more if I added on the 1200 medical expense and 1200 school expense?

You don't state your income, but if it's less than $15,000 these won't make a difference. You already get $8000 as head of household, so $1200 of itemized deductions won't do better than that. If you don't owe income tax, an education credit can't do better than zero....
