- Hi everyone, in this week's video, I talk about the main differences between undergrad/college/university and dental school. I get questions sometimes about whether or not dental school is "hard" and these are pretty much the reasons why it is so challenging. I will start vlogging once I start school again! I can't wait to show you all what second year dental school is like. :)
Also, pretty random but I also get asked what my major was in undergrad, and it was Biological Sciences.

I'm so excited to actually start learning about dentistry when I get into school! that was something that I definitely hated about my undergrad...learning about stuff that I was almost certain I would never use as a dentist. Thanks for posting Brittany!!!
:) Yes that was the most exciting part about dental school for sure! Thank you for watching and always leaving such awesome comments!
This whole video was so wholesome. Thank you😂❤
I am so so thankful I found you're channel! I'm about to start my first year of undergrad to study pre-dentistry 😁😁
+xoBeautySecretsxo awesome! Good luck with ur studies 😋
Congrats on finishing your first year!! :)
Thank you :) :)
Congrats on finishing D1! Keep up the hard work!
+Lillian Keith Thank you so much!!
Congrats on becoming a D2! I appreciate you making these dental school-related videos. In your labs, do you usually have a good idea of what to do when you're there? I'm wondering because I got confused a lot when I was in my chem lab and had to get help from the TA or another lab group about a step in the procedure every time I was there.
To be honest, I still get confused every time we have a new project! Pretty much during class we watch a video and the professor lectures about it and sends us off to lab. I have to ask for extra help a lot haha.
Here in New Zealand you can get your undergrad degree in dental surgery. It takes 5 years and you can practice after
+M L incredible!
Where did you go to school for undergrad and dentistry school? Any good suggestions?
If you're already in dental school, what are some ways that your experience was different than that of your undergrad?
Brittany Watu can you please speak about oral health school if you know anything about it and what is the difference between it and between dental school and thank you so much for your great and helpful videos 👌👍💙
+Reem Al-Qallaf I don't know too much about it but I will look into it!
Hey! How long did it take to finish undergrad!
Hi Brittany! I am an Esl student at NOVA in Virginia, U.S. I want to become an Orthodontist in future, so could you please tell me what is the best, easiest way to achieve my goal? I am 31 🙁and I don’t want to waste my time anymore..😊
Thank you for all you do.
Historically, dentistry was considered a trade and apprenticeship, before it was considered a profession, due to the fact that it is very hands on.
My biggest fear about going to dental school is the studying? Do you think it's manageable? Also are undergrads and dental schools in England good or no? Thank you for your channel it's very helpful!!
Hi Samantha, thank you for being so supportive! Sorry I don't know too much about England's education system. But, I do know that the studying takes a while to get adjusting to. I've had to get better at managing my time and learning about what works for me when it comes to studying. I also learned that the best method for me to study was to actively study!
I study Dentistry in the UK but I'm not sure I quite understand your question. All schools here are fine, it actually doesn't matter where you go as all courses are regulated by the GDC.
Can you please share a vedio on how can we study bds 2nd yr subjects plzzzzz...
I’m super nervous I’m about to start my D1 year in a couple weeks, but I barely put any work in undergrad. I’m worried I won’t be able to make the transition
Good luck!
Brittany will u specialize after dental school or stay as a general dentist and if so what speciality would like to enroll in I want to go to dental school and specialize oral and maxillofacial surgery
+V.I .SIMMER Hi, I'm not sure yet. I just want to keep my options open!
Are there any activities you recommend would have been very helpful for dental school in terms of improving your dexterity so that some of your lab activities would not have been as difficult?
+MP Patel hi, actually what I've come to realize that dentistry is both hand skills AND visualization. Try to do activities like drawing, painting, sculpting, etc that trains your eye as well as your hands.
Question: Do you guys do the same classes with Med MBBS students for the first 2 years? Or do you guys go right into dentistry classes?
+Janelle T Lee Chee no we don't have the same classes with the med students.
i wanted to be a dentist but when i saw a video on ext of impacted wisdom tooth i was like... nope, i dont have the strength for that >_
Don't let that prevent you from reaching your dreams!
would you say your undergrad science courses applied a lot to what you are learning in dental school?
Yes they really help, especially in my first year of dental school.
gotta have that WATER
:')
It would seem that Dental school should be easier cause you're only focused on one direction, so why would it be harder than college where your courses are in every direction? Thanks much.
There's a LOT of material! And also, the hand skills are very new for most people.
Did you take a year off before going to dental school, or did you go straight from undergrad?
+Bay Area Bible Study Fellowship straight!
+Brittany Watu so did you apply your junior year? And did you feel burnt out going straight from undergrad to dental school? Also, do most people go straight or do they take a year off?
Yes I applied the summer before my last year in college. No, I didn't feel really burnt out. I feel like a lot of my classmates took gap year(s). The majority of my class.
+Brittany Watu so what compelled you to not take a gap year like other students in your class? Also how did you manage to apply for dental school while keeping up on school work.
+Bay Area Bible Study Fellowship I applied in the summer so I didn't have class then. Also I wasn't feeling burnt out so that's what I decided to go straight to dental school.
Is it possible to have a part time job while in dental school?
I personally don't know anyone with a part time job in dental school
Do you live in a dorm at the dental school? Or an apartment near it? (I'm wondering because I recently got married and I was wondering where me and my husband would be living when I start my dental school in 2 years. And he works real estate 🏡 )
thank you for the video!!🌸 you're gorgeous btw!! :)
Thank you! You are too kind haha. I live in condo off campus.
Ohh! That's a perfect idea! Thank you so much! I'll also consider a condo!
..and how old are you? You look like 16
