Dentistry is an amalgamation of art, science, engineering, surgery and business. It’s a multifaceted career for multifaceted individuals!

I chose to be a dentist so I can make my 6 figure salary working 8 hours a day directly after graduation, I never want to work 100 hour weeks for 4-12 years after school making 60k a year as a resident

I am 3 years into my electrical engineering career. I find teeth fascinating and am in the beginning of my research of the career! Wish me luck!

I am 13 years old and juggling the thoughts of being a dentist, ob/gyn, or plastic surgeon. I am a straight A student who loves biology and anatomy these videos help me learn about each field of doctors. Thank you so much for giving me an insight on each subject!!!

I’m 13 right now but I’m gonna start watching videos and learning about dentistry so one day I can become a dentist.

As a 4th-year student in Poland, I do not recommend this course to undecided people, the time you will have to devote to studying is huge - in every sense of the word.

I have such respect for dentists who study and work hard and going to do great things for the patients; my dentist saved some key teeth so I don’t need dentures and dentures are not fun. My brother just got some and he said it it hurts just to eat a hotdog

Amazing video. It's really interesting to see the similarities and differences of the career between the United States and Brazilian POV. As a Brazilian dental surgeon, I had barely a cost to do my university, since I've studied at a public one. Yet, Brazilian dentistry is often ranked as #1 in the world. But even though we (as in _we who had public education_, private universities are still quite expensive) don't have such initial high cost, the high quality instruments and materials that are required to our practice cost waaay more than what it would cost for you at the USA, since we have to import them. So this problem of not learning about management during our dental school is quite a big one, good to see you talked about that. Also, the proliferation of DSOs is leading to market saturation, which decreases the quality of the service. More than ever the ethics of our class will be checked, since with less compensation, people tend to care less for the quality of the work and prioritize volume to make ends meet.

It is also a misconception that dentists do not have to worry about death at their practice. In fact, dentists are the first line of defense against mouth cancer and must be prepared to handle emergencies during and after surgery, where there is a risk of patient mortality. It is quite common for us to treat purulent abscesses, which can lead to generalized infection if left untreated.

Many dental schools actually do give classes on how to run a business and a practice. It is by no means all encompassing but it is often taught by people who were or are dentists with their own practices

Life threatening emergencies in dentistry are rare, except in Maxillofacial Surgery where patients can often present with airway obstruction from spreading dental infections or severe trauma to the face.

Rarely in endodontics files may fall down a patient's throat, posing an aspiration risk. I've seen patients swallow dentures in their sleep too.

There's also the risk of giving local anaesthetic directly into blood vessels, asthmatic attacks and cardiovascular events during stressful procedures.
These are rare however because dentists are good at their jobs. There is a lot that can go wrong, even if patient's life isn't threatened, so not a totally risk free environment. The fact that a patient can immediately assess your work also adds to the stress.
This was a good video. Dentistry is really what you make of it.

Going into high school and have wanted to be a dentist since I was six. This video helped me make some surface level plans for the future, and has just got me more excited. I love teeth, and just can’t wait for school. Thank you! ❤

I love your videos! I learn so much about healthcare fields. Would you consider doing a version about occupational therapy?

bluesriracha

Great video! I'd love to see a "So, You Want to Be a Veterinarian" sometime.

Would i be able to get an accouting degree in a 4 year university and than get in to dentistry school? Also, in order to be a dentist, does it have to be in the U.S.? Like what about doing a 4 year college ( get my accouting degree) and than go to or transfer to a school/University in a country where education is free or in expensive? Maybe Canada?

fyori

Please cover all the dental specialities as well

Im a high school student currently taking the journalism program at my school. I have aa dream back when i was a kid to be a doctor but the time i became 10 i wanted to be a lawyer. Unfortunately my family is against it and they called me a cry baby and i cant be a lawyer if i was a cry baby so i reconsider going back to my dream to be in the medical field and this really gave me some insights if i should or should not. Thank you!!
