Hello laura! I'm third year dental student, still endeavoring 3-4 more years to get my DDS in my country. Dental school is often mentally-exhausting. Thank you laura for inspiring me how to make dental school looks fun :)
I’m so late I’m embarrassed but I just wanted to say that, You inspired me so so much because you do many dental videos, and when I grow up I want to help people and be a dentist, I love your channel and love watching your vids, keep up with the amazing vids, also you made me hungry with all that food. I also celebrated lunar new year, and I’m Vietnamese and we always have pho or banh mi, So yummy! Anyways thanks. Also can you do your favorite dental products video, it would be very helpful!
Thank you so much for watching my videos!! I'm so glad they're helpful! Ooooo I love Vietnamese food! This newer video features some of my favorite dental products! ua-cam.com/video/m5W6l7E1scc/v-deo.html
@@LauraSmiles I know I'm 14 and I'm really late, but my question is do you get use to this? Cause I want to be a dentist but I have anxiety so it's kinda scary going in but I'm going to try my best!
Can you make a video of your dental materials from where do you buy them and what do you recommend! And where did you buy your Dental Loupes with Light,dental turbine etc. Which ones do you you recommend certain specific brands or any?
Thank you for the awesome videos Laura ! ❤️ Dental rocks. I did my dental assistant internship at UW in 2014. Would love to become a dentist but I hate math and chemistry 🧪😞😞
Great video ideas! I cover some of those topics in my PRE-DENTAL ADVICE playlist! I'll try to make a more specific video about my gap year in the future!
Hi, just subscribed to your channel, I love it ! Congrats so far, I know this is an older video, but still !!! 😁😁 signed, future future dental student 👍🏾
Let me help you. Don't do it. With the ridiculous cost of a degree in dentistry, it'll be the worst financial decision you'll ever make. Compound that with the issue that dental school barely prepares you for real dentistry. But if you don't care about that, then feel free to disregard.
Mike Tran that is very true. Honestly if you’re into the dental field aim for hygiene. I make 120k a year and do real estate in the side so close to 200k. The dentist i work for honestly says I make more then him profit wise at the end of the year. I wanted to be a dentist and It does suck because I know I could of done it but I wanted to start a family at 27 and not struggle. If I went to dental school I would of been 32 and been in debt until 43 or 45. Sorry for the rushed comment I’m literally just getting off the dental office but decided to reply
Also I’m not trying to judge but looks like the girl in this video probably has wealthier parents than most. If your parents can afford dental school that’s a huge plus. I come from a third world country so my parents barley made 45k a year or even less so I’m very happy to be helping them now.
Argonaut I think we live in different states or countries. I’m my state the average pay for a dental hygienist is about 50k. Don’t get me wrong it’s not bad especially since you only need 2 years and you won’t be in debt. Also if I were to go into dental school I would graduate at 25-26. So I think it just depends on where you live. However what you’ve done is really smart since I’m also interested in real estate. Thank you for giving me the idea. I will look into it
Hi laura, My friend has severe dental anxiety ,she feels sick when she visits dental clinic....n wat scares her d most is d anesthethic....any tips to help her..(.n ya even after so much fear she sees ur video n says oh i wud only go to laura for treatment she makes the whole dental thing look less scarey) . Pls recommend any tips since she is having a toothache but wont go to a dentist. thnx love ya
Hey Laura, I am a D3 at Temple and I am not sure it is protocol to use prophy paste after an SRP. Thought is that the pumice and debris will stay in the pocket and hinder healing and LJE attachment. Cool video!
Yeah i also had a patient coming to our clinics, i was ready to extract his wisdom tooth, when the xray came out and one of its roots was so mesially curved and it was very painful for the patient. He was screaming, litterally.
@@LauraSmiles Hell yeah! I'm a dude and have been following the owner, Christian Guzman, over the years on youtube. The company's blown up so fast, I've worn some of the first shirts he's ever released, quality has only improved every time, so worth it! Just need them to release dental scrubs now, haha
Great video I'm a fourth year BDS uk so its really interesting seeing the comparion! Please please please can you try and avoid shaky camera footage, I get such bad headaches and motion sickness from it :(
@@AmanSingh-sq4lv For privacy reasons not going to say the actual university but I'm really enjoying it! It's a northern university theres definitely times when you question why you chose it but those happen less and less as you move up in years, it's hard work but if you do get in do make sure to make time for a hobby/club/society!
Jennifer Dominguez I am also a dental student and I know how nerve recking it can be to take on so many loans. First thing I can say is that if you know you want to be a dentist, it is well worth the cost. Additionally, speak to your dentists and you will see that though they do have a lot to pay, they don’t over stress about it because it is a career path that will very likely allow you to pay your debt smoothly. Just my view, we are all on the same boat :)
I have a question: when you go to dental school do you specialize in anything or do you get to try everything? I can’t decide if I want to be an orthodontist or a dentist
At our school, we rotate through the specialties in dental school. You can choose to specialize and that requires additional training in residency (can range 2-6 years depending on specialty)
Great questions! The typical route is 4 years of undergrad + 4 years dental school + optional residency after (1-2 years for general residency and 2-3 years for specialities)
LauraSmiles wow that’s a lot!!! My respects for you!!!! I want to be an orthodontist but I think I’ll stop at being a dentist bc of how long it takes to study. Thank you so much for replying!💜
Hello laura! I'm third year dental student, still endeavoring 3-4 more years to get my DDS in my country. Dental school is often mentally-exhausting. Thank you laura for inspiring me how to make dental school looks fun :)
Dental school is definitely overwhelming - we definitely all need to focus on our mental health as well. Keep studying hard! Rooting for you! :)
You literally have perfect teeth
Haha such a nice compliment! Thank you!
LauraSmiles after dental school you will be a dentist?
Catalin Darius No ....she will be an electrical engineer
Omg yesss😍super perfect😁
She got a C4 from the VITA shade guide...

Can you do cons and pros of being a dental student. I’m really interested in being a dentist but I still don’t know
I'll try to hit this topic in a future video!

Hey Laura, I am a D3 at Temple and I am not sure it is protocol to use prophy paste after an SRP. Thought is that the pumice and debris will stay in the pocket and hinder healing and LJE attachment. Cool video!

What are the steps in becoming a dentist in Canada? Can someone comment down 👉🏻👈🏻🥺
Yeah i also had a patient coming to our clinics, i was ready to extract his wisdom tooth, when the xray came out and one of its roots was so mesially curved and it was very painful for the patient. He was screaming, litterally.
Oh man, that sounds difficult
Full mandib nerve block will do the trick
You’re so sweet 🦷💕
Nice Alphalete hoodie, shout out from Michigan Dental haha
LOL do you also wear Alphalete?? Their hoodies are so soft!

I don’t have regular teeth so i am having braces 😬 in my mouth so i wanna be dental doctor in order to fix people who are facing problem like me.
Can I ask how are you paying for dental school? I want to be a dentist but I’m so nervous about taking out loans 😳

Smile with Sam thank you so much for this 💛 I will take this advice and ask my dentist if how it really is 😊💛
I'm paying my entire tuition with loans :( I'll try to make a video about this once I'm out working and have experience paying back my loans
LauraSmiles yes please make a video soon, I think no one really talks about this and this will be a lot of help 💛
Omg I’m Cambodian as well !
Hi!!!
New to your channel, which school is this?
I have a question: when you go to dental school do you specialize in anything or do you get to try everything? I can’t decide if I want to be an orthodontist or a dentist
Sidney Kay what do you enjoy
At our school, we rotate through the specialties in dental school. You can choose to specialize and that requires additional training in residency (can range 2-6 years depending on specialty)
LauraSmiles thank you so much!!
Mera bhi danth dard kar RHA haan Pakistan main clinic hin
How many years does it takes to study to be a dentist from high school? Do dentist students have to do recidency, if so, for how long?
Great questions! The typical route is 4 years of undergrad + 4 years dental school + optional residency after (1-2 years for general residency and 2-3 years for specialities)
LauraSmiles wow that’s a lot!!! My respects for you!!!! I want to be an orthodontist but I think I’ll stop at being a dentist bc of how long it takes to study. Thank you so much for replying!💜
Do you get paid for the work you do in your little office? Or how do you get money to pay for everything you do?
Good question - I don't get paid at all! I'm the one paying to be able to work on these patients, haha! Our dental school tuition is really expensive!
Wow you school is really lax in the osha protocals.....
Hi laura can you do a best dental loupes video
It's on my list! Thanks for the suggestion!
Our of curiosity, what does your brother study?
He's studying medicine!
LauraSmiles wow that's amazing, your parents must be so proud!
