What do you like about dentistry?
I am a dentist since 2017, have been working in my own clinic but if I had known how much the stress I face in the dentistry I would never study the dentistry. Love what you do then go for it
What would you say makes dentistry stressful for you?
Knowing that any procedure that isn't perfect is a potential lawsuit. Also, patients are broke so they are looking for a malpractice settlement.@@LancashireSmiles
Well I can tell you many reasons
When you do for example a filling for people they think it is for life time which totally wrong because we cant guarantee that how much time the filling will last.
I think dentistry treatments has a lot of failures which makes you unhappy . Patient comes back always .
i graduated in 2015 and since day 1 i hated being a dentist. I have finally decided to say FUCK YOU to this profession and change my life for the better.
what do you do now
@@hamaadakram took a year out and learning to code.. Starting with Freecomecamp
I left Dentistry too ....but left at the end of the 2nd year rather completing the BDS.
In the 1990's when I would have qualified, things would have been different but I still feel I made the right decision.
I also qualified in 2015... The STRESS though... Not to mention working through the pandemic was a peach... Don't have the guts to quit though to be honest
@@bilaliq1449 hows it going
I really hate seeing saliva and people spitting in general 🤢, but im already in 5th year so🤷🏽♀️
Final year is a challenge! All the best with getting your BDS
@@LancashireSmiles Thank you !
same here and Im a dentist and a prosthodontist 26 yrs
In my country it's 10 times harder to get to dentistry than medicine since there are not many dental schools .
Hello, which country do you belong???
Stefanie we need an answer
@@chillyfingers123 it s in Morocco and just so people understand. It s harder to get in dentistry school because there are far less dentistry schools compared to medicine. u can find one for medicine in most cities. However for dentistry there are only 4 in the country so they don t accept many students. They only accept the best of the best cause there aren't many places in it.
What I have to do get job in dentistry in your country.please tell me.iam from india
@@muthuraj9225 I honestly don t know the percentage for foreign students tho . Since there are only 3 universities for dentistry it s very hard for foreign students to get in.
*If you're planning to be a dentist one day but u will think that people's mouth are some kind of gross, will u get use to it when you'll get to be at dental school? Is it ok to be a dentist if you're not really good at using your hands? Will u get use to it? Is it worth studying and did u enjoy it when you're at dental school? What are the best lessons in dental school that you have encountered? Will everything focus on the teeth and mouth? I hope u can answer this Doc, dentistry was my dream before but I'm kinda pressured rn. I think it's weird to spend my college days looking at people's damage teeth and discuss lessons all about mouth and teeth. 😞*
I would encourage you to get work experience with dental care professionals and this will let you know whether dentistry is the career for you. After shadowing dentists, if the thought of working in the mouth is off-putting then you may need to consider a different career path.
You want to be excited about your career.
@@LancashireSmiles thanks for the advice Doc🙂
your correct Dr but most of us work for the money not the love of work. loving your work is of utmost importance even if digging a ditch. after all a ditch digger gets to smoke on the job spit fart eat or piss right there where you work--quite a perk really
so helpful thank you!!!!
😁
I like this man .. HONEST

Thanks for subscribing 😃
Idek why I'm watching this. I'm going into third year in September 😂, too late to back down now.
I'm sure you're enjoying it if you're willing to go back in September 😁.
@@LancashireSmiles hopefully! I've missed so much clinics at the end of 2nd Yr due to this Corona.
@@NuttyIG there will be plenty of dentistry for us all to get back to once things are under control. It just needs some time...
How many years are there? I am in 9th grade and I would like to become a dentist.
@@mariacardenas6856 4 years in graduate, 5 years undergraduate in dental school, after that there are training that you can do depending on the type of dentist
Great analysis, thank you 😅
Loved this thank you sir !
Happy to hear it, thanks
Really nice video, I just subscribed!
Welcome 😁
I heard that after varsity, is not easy to secure a job, instead you must have a business mind so to open a practice. #I am a dentalstudent who's unhappy
Shadow some dentists and ask them questions to help you decide whether there is an area within dentistry you will enjoy. Working as a dentist will be a very different experience compared to studying dentistry as a student.
Thanks so much for this, l’m really interested in dentistry and l’m a dental nurse and to become a dentist is actually one of dream. Do you think having a master in biomedical science or biological science can help to strengthen my application? Please l need your help? Good blessed you for encouraging people. 🙏🏾
Consider the dental schools you're interested in applying to and check their entry requirements. That will inform you on how to strengthen your application. You don't want to do a course only to find out that it doesn't add much to your dental school application.
Did you get to a dental school?
I did
I got into dentistry because I thought it is easier than medicine and I regret that
I wish I saw this years ago
You are unbappy in dental school or are you out working?
@@harvestingseason2725 in dental school
@@soedm3th837 you don't have a life?
Dentistry has a better work/life balance after university. While dental school might be harder than medicine, in the long term it's better. I have relatives that are dentists and physicians and it took both of my physician relatives 20 years from beginning of medical school to get their licenses in their specialty. And they said it's definitely not worth the stress,time and sacrifices.
I want to do dentistry, but the relatives in their careers both have said to do something else.
this guy might be a decent dentist -- a good one is worth their weight in gold.
I'm not a people person but I'm already a 3rd year dental student , I don't think that I'm passionate about dentistry, Idk what to do with my life :( should I continue or should I take a break to think again or should I change my career
If you are able to continue and complete the degree it will give you more options. You don't have to limit yourself to clinical dentistry or academia. You could work with companies in the oral health industry or pursue the medico-legal route. You could even use the degree to do something else outside of dentistry.
However if it's severely affecting your mental health and overall happiness it would be worth speaking with staff members and family about it.
@@LancashireSmiles thank you sm dr, I'll take your words into consideration
Hy what did you decided, I am in the same case not passionate with dentistery but I don't have any passion or dream job so I don't know what to do instead.
I only worked on fake patient and fake tooth so I kinda liked the art in dentistery but I don't really liked seing people without teeth and stuf like that, not a people person either
Wow thanks for the advice sir..uhm I wanna ask here is It possible to switch from dental technology to BDS ? Like along the year of study .
It's unlikely that UK dental schools will allow you to transfer from dental technology to the dental course. You can contact the dental schools directly to verify if this is true.
Thank you for your video. I am 25, do you think it is too late to start my studies in dentistry? Also, I am kind of grossed when it comes to blood and diverse body health issues, but very exited and interested about teeth particularly, dentistry in the past and acctual trends, watching videos about teeth restauration, different cases before and after videos/pictures, studying xrays from Internet trying to understand what is in there, I also have a dentist mirror and am very curious studying my friends' or my own teeth. Do you think this kind of interest could be a sign that there is a chance that a person can work as a dentist? Many thanks!
A significant number of people older than you start dental school when they decide to have a career change. 25 is not too old at all to start.
You will need to speak with dental students and dentists to gain more insight into the career and if you can, organise work experience. This will give you a good indication of whether the career is for you.
One of my classmates was 40 when she started studying Dentistry, we were all 17,18 when we started. Never too late :)
no it is not, I started when I was 33 and have completed now. Good luck
Im 31 I’m thinking to do a career change from Business to Dentistry. Right now I do not have people skills but it does not worry me through the course I guess you can learn and develope that
@@m0ham30how old are you now ?
To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
Are you saved? Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell?
The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell.
John 1:1,14 KJV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us,
1 John 3:8 KJV
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Isaiah 9:6 KJV
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 1:10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.
The culture within the profession is rotten to the core.

Do i have to have nice/perfect teeth to become a dentist:(
Hi Mbali,
Your teeth won't be part of the interview assessment criteria. However if you are looking to become a dentist it would be ideal if you are maintaining good oral health. This shows that you are interested in oral health.
Good oral health is not the same as having what some people may perceive as a 'nice smile'.
@@LancashireSmiles thank you sm
Dental practice sucks- waaaay too much regulatory BS
Well i don't like the dentist at all .alot of toretering 😱 it's like a alien hospital😱
Was having a crush on you then I saw the wedding ring 😭🤣
