I’m a dentist, I mainly did it because of the money you get, but in the end I was actually enjoying my job. My favorite thing to do as a dentist is to remove wisdom teeth. There’s something about it that I enjoy. It’s satisfying to see how big the wisdom tooth got. I also like talking to my patients and comforting them.

I think dentistry is better because you get to work while retaining your human element and not being a robot! You also get to graduate sooner and work in peace. I chose it because i personally thought i would not be able to manage the constant regular adrenaline surges throughout the day everyday if i became an mbbs doctor. Also, i find maxillofacial surgery really interesting so i hope i get to become a maxillofacial surgeon one day, fingers crossed!

There’s lots of comparisons between med or dentistry on YouTube, but this is most accurate as this gentleman has studied both.

Dentistry is exactly what he says, you can make it exciting as you want. There's so much more to learn because of the technological advances. Many people still think of the old traditional dental work, but nowadays we have CBCT for implants, CAD/CAM design and so much more. All these new frontiers can keep you on your toes for many years.

[adriansanchez]

The most important thing you have to know (as a dentist) is that in order to be a great dentist you have to be a great doctor.

Dentistry!🙌🏼
There's so much to do.
I'm a first-year dental student about to appear for my final exams. It's more fun to be a part of this field.
Of course, I wanna make more money. I wanna indulge in different knowledgeable kinds of stuff, business besides the job and want the best lifestyle.

Being a doctor or a dentist you have to be a bloody genius to get through either medical school.

Thank you so much for this video !! I've been watching thousands of videos to help me to decide but yours is just what I needed to finally get decided

Dentistry is just better. Less work, you have more time with your friends and family, you earn more.

Dentist are not different professionals or less important. Dentist are not secondary to any specialty of medicine. A neurosurgeon has to take dentist appointment if he develops dental pain or need to see an oral surgeon ( specialist dentist) if he breaks his tmj or jaw or develops jaw tumor. So considering dentistry something less is totally wrong. There is wrong concept that physician can treat everything from head to toe but it is totally false. A physician can diagnose dental problems but cannot treat it and will refer to a dental surgeon. Similary if a physician diagnose any problem related to eye or skin he will refer the pt to an ophthalmologist or dermatologists for treatment respectively. And some treatment or surgery are performed in teams consisting of surgeon different specialty like for example oral cancer is treated by a team of oral surgeon ent surgeon and onco surgeon.
