Why NOT to become a DENTIST 😭

There are so many reasons why I love being a Dentist and an Orthodontist but there are also a lot of reasons why you shouldn't choose this profession.

You should not become a Dentist if you are not

1. A people person
2. Comfortable being in the spotlight and having to make tough decisions
3. Comfortable with Debt

[josephmartinez]

Not true.. I have seen introvert people more successful. They are good with people one on one, they dont need to be necessarily going to stage to talk. Infact it is an advantage for introvert they can make good connection in one on one.

going on my 3rd year in college, working towards getting into dental school! great video :)

Oh man, you definitely got me thinking twice at the bad smell part lol. I think I can handle blood and graphic stuff, but smells just make me gag. I guess im going to medical school then! Also I never knew you didnt get paid during dental residency. You learn something new everyday.

I love my dentist. I’m so grateful I found him.❤
He is so calm and he is honest with me as well.
He’s told me that I have “weird” cavities too!😂

[naegardner]

very excited to be watching as a high school senior strongly thinking about going into dentistry!! definitely subscribing!

This might be a personal question, but it would be super helpful: How much debt did you have once you were done with all schooling, and how long did it take you to pay it off (if you have alrrleady). I know it depends for eveyrone, but knowing the rough scale would be super helpful!

Hi Dr. Nate, I’m in the process of applying to dental school! Could you make a video of how you financed your 7 years of dental school + residency?

[jackhouston]

Thanks for the video. Currently deciding between Dentistry and Medicine. Super helpful, Cheers!!

[patricialouisseuy]

I'm still torn between medicine or dentistry...

[ayushagurung]

I dont even have any idea what I really want to be

[king_nsr]

Very informative. Thanks for speaking the truth. Keep up the good work.

I’ve been wanting to get into dentistry for some time but the fear of making a mistake during an operation is stopping me. Any advice?

*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 am a dentistry student from Europe and here our university is completely free:))
the residency costs, but not that much money that you have to go in a big debt to pay it off
I guess those are the benefits of studying here :)

Hi! First time watching and predental student! How do you feel about dentistry going forward? Covid has certainly made a statement, do you feel comfortable with patients now? Would you prefer to wait on opening up? I certainly would not want to leave my patients out of luck, but it just is such a tricky thing. Thanks Nathan!
