Dr. Avi, love your content. I think you bring up an important question that needs addressing what's the "return of value" for a dental eduction. Gone are the days of getting your degree and opening your shop to practice for 40 years, and save enough money for a comfortable retirement. (unless you are okay with corporate dentistry infiltration into the profession, and stagnant income growth).
I love your idea of using dentistry as a stepping stone, side hustle, or part time income source, so you can pursue another profitable passion. I believe, if 2-3 day dental providers becomes the "norm" we'll have less burn out of our providers, an improved passion for the profession, and I dare say better outcomes.
I think you are saying, "Think twice about the debt burden of a dental education, if your plan as a dentist is to open/buy an office than work 35-40 hours a week, expecting this profession will provide for you and your family the "doctor lifestyle".
Instead we all need to think about becoming entrepreneur dentists, combining the practice of dentistry with other income producing passions to control one's own destiny?
You are speaking my language!!
Yes you hit it on the nail! You have to ask yourself that question these days then be open and ready to “get creative” about how you can construct the life you want to live.
It isnt as simple as it used to be - but that doesn’t mean it isnt possible.
Follow me on ig if you aren’t already - @doctor.avi and shoot me a DM.
Would love to chat more!
You’ve been really dropping some bangers! Love the consistency 🙌
My mannnnnn! You better buckle up - it’s about to get wild 😝
Also please share the video to your people! Trying my hardest to grow this thing
Dr Avi. Good to hear the facts. I was literally thinking about not pursuing dentistry in USA almost 15 years ago. This is an eye opener.😊 every thing happens for good. Stay blessed
Income driven repayment method definitely sounds like the move! Thank you for sharing - D2 at OSU
Any time!
What do you mean by income driven repayment
Thank you so much for your honesty and just overall effort. Learning so much from your channel as a new dentist.
For the last 3 years, I went to a dental clinic that assigned you a near dentist level dental hygienist. This year, they got bought out and suddenly I had to have dental work on 16 teeth, when only 6 months ago, I had no dental work (including 10 years back). Dental patients: watch out for changes in ownership in a dental practice and suddenly you need a lot of procedures - get a second opinion!
And what if ur previous dentist was under-diagnosing, and you got problems later down the road? Would you complain to him about that, or would you be happy that you didn't have to get any work done?
Sorry this happened - it’s very common these days.
Your advice of getting a second opinion is a good one.

I was able to leave before they performed the work.
it’s not worth it, destroyed me financially. I just quit… at 24. Hope I find something that brings me actual happiness. Idc if it’s by having a taco stand or whatever. i’ll be happier from now on. idc how.
explain what you meana by destroyed you plz?
Doesn't mean it's not worth it. Means you didn't plan well. Dentistry can be a golden opportunity. Just like anything, success takes hard work. Hard work doesn't end when you graduate.
You are definitely not a dentist. Just a social media junkie
Hey Dr Avi, I really love your videos as they help me understand more about the industry. However, I am not sure if the downsides you explain in your videos also apply to the UK dentistry sector as well or if it's just the USA. Can you please clarify?
I think we all can benefit from this information. 🙏🏻 Thank you for sharing. Those dentistry schools sounds like scams! Those students that do the work should be given most of the portion that is paid from people who go there for help due to the fact they have difficulty affording dental care! 😓 I'm glad you have a wife who loves you, pray that God bless you in all you do!!! 🙌🏻🙏🏻❤️✝️🕊️
Thank you for your words!
Honestly students getting a portion of what they do is a phenomenal idea! It would be a great way to also help decrease their financial burden
In my country dentistry school pay us money in the forth and final year of dentistry
I don't believe that any dental school costs $250K/year, much less averages that much.
With interest over time it comes out pretty close to it
Hey actually I am looking forward to get enrolled in dentistry and i an ok with the financial thing but if we don’t look from university fee perspective is dentistry a good career or is GP good ?
One Basic point he missed in this video is that it doesnt matter if you know high end procedures like implants and veneers if you dont know how to relieve a toothache in a compassionate and faithful manner. Thats what earns a patient's trust. If u can do that then patients wud come towards you.
Implants and veneers come much later. Priority is basic restorations, RCTs and Extraction.
I regret going to dental school. Graduated with a 3.4/4 gpa and now I’m working minimum wage jobs to pay back my loans. It’s horrible. You can only succeed in this field if you already have a path set for you when you graduate like a clinic ran by your family or if you have the budget to invest into it.
thats just not true dude
@@Des_Armoni in my country it’s like that. Maybe in the US it’s not. But even so, if you want to make it in this field to even be mildly successful and get a somewhat decent salary is if you literally sell your soul to this profession. Like dedicate your entire time and resources to it. I see the people around me that graduated university from majors that and degrees in computer science and programming and they make 3 times whatever I would make as a dentist for less effort. 100% not worth it.
@doomguy8235 where are u from? I feel you
@@weronikaww2887 Saudi Arabia
@@doomguy8235 I feel you bro, same situation dentist and jobless in Pakistan. Dental clinics pay less than minimum wage and jobs are oversturated. My computer science friends earn in 6 figures while I am jobless with no hope
From your photo, I assume that you graduated from NYU dental school, which is one of the most expensive dental schools in the country. I completed my graduate studies in healthcare policy at NYU and earn $150k/year, but I presently have zero debt (thanks to Public Service Student Loan forgiveness). I think going to the right school is important, but it shouldn't result in a lifetime of student loan payments.
I subscribed to your channel and I watch the "Bentist" channel as well. He's an ortho, who makes really funny content about the importance of maintaining good dental health, while also educating people about ortho treatments.
Hey!
Yup I went to NYU haha
I enjoyed my time there however dental school across the country is still very high compared to years prior.
The bentist has dope videos - love watching him!
Healthcare policy aka pushing toxic vaccins and procedures on people fir the benefit of big pharma and big government
The dental profession is pretty cooked. Luckily I was on a military scholarship and didn’t accrue any loans from dental school. But now I’m in the service paying back with my time.
Looking at the landscape of dentistry my friends and colleagues from school are dealing with in private/corporate practices sounds awful at times.
Hoping when I exit the service I can pivot into a practice that does things I enjoy in dentistry like sleep dentistry and clear aligners. We will see lord willing!
That’s a great plan
really helpful. thank you
Great work....Plzz do reply... i am an endodontist in india with 4 yrs of experience..i have done lot of community work and my article are published in reputed journal...so if I get Latter of recommendation in usa then ...will i get residency in endo there.... or chances are still very less
Where are u now bro,
I m a dental student 1st year..
I would like to be a dentist but im from Jamaica. Id like to study at USA but in terms of being satisfied do you think it is advisable?
Or like do you think I should do pharmacology
Where does dental school cost $250,000 per year?

@@doctoravi$705,000/4 years = $176,000/year
Not $250,000/year.
It's still way too much. But why the hyperbole?
@@RAlanMead my bad. I agree though - still too much. Prices go up every year - it'll be there before we know it lol
Everything in healthcare is broken. If someone would have just told me it’s more fascinating to learn it than to clock in I would have just hustled doing something else
the human greed is bottom less
lawyers
dentists
and all of those who "come ill fix you"
when people have pain and problems they thrive
what a sick planet we live in anyway
all about money!
Bomb video
Ayyyy thanks for the support brotha
You're wrong about everything except income driven loan repayment
Interested to hear your thoughts
you talked in a circle. your understanding of the situation is as bad as the situation.
Listen closely, he’s telling you that if you don’t have significant financial help from someone else…DON’T GO TO DENTAL SCHOOL! The profession is broken. There are forces at work flooding the market with dentists. The number one donor to my dental school was a dental insurance company. Think about it.
Which dental school did you go to?
@@doctoravi LSU
Omg I am still paying back my student loans and I graduated in 1995!
That is wild Lisa!
I was born in 1995 and I recently became a millionaire. No job or degree. Life is wild.
Immigration is playing a huge role here. Here in western countries, students literally have to plan their undergraduate to get into dental school (which includes GPA, DAT, extra co-curriculars etc.), on the other hand, there are people coming from developing countries where it is very very easy to get into dental school and then they appear for licensing in US or Canada. They do not have any student loans because studying dentistry is so cheap there (a simple google search will let you know this). These people after getting licensed, cut costs which affect students who studied from expensive institutes.
And these immigrant dentists make way more money in western countries than they could ever make in their home countries (do a google search and see yourself).
Dentistry is getting a hard hit, i agree but when will our government and authorities see this?
The foreign dentists have to get into US residency programs which is nearly impossible
Why is it impossible?
