  • Graduating dental school is just the beginning of your life as a new dentist. In this video, Dani and I talk about what it's like being a new dentist from the perspectives of practicing for 6 months and 6 years. We discuss what it's been like working as a new dentist clinically, financially, and our lifestyles.

    thank you so much for this video -great content, but great production too.
    Im a fourth year canadian dental student and this is exactly what I wanted to hear lol.
    Just a follow up on this video.. I actually agree so much with Dani- I find problem solving/ determining diagnosis the most difficult.
    Do you have any advice/ tips on diagnosis and treatment planning process? any feedback is great appreciated!.
    Future video suggestions:
    Do you have tips for preparing for the Canadian boards?
    Tips for newly grad dentists on patient management, actual clinical skills, etc.
    Thank you!

    What major would you recommend for undergrad pre-dental students? I do want to own a practice one day, and I wonder if economics or finance would be a good major to add to human health.

    • @jmey

      honestly, as long as you have the prereqs done it doesn't matter what major you do. Go after something that interests you and you'll be more motivated with your coursework

      you bet. Dentists can choose to only do what they want to do, and are under no obligation (and shouldn't) do anything they aren't comfortable with (or don't like)
