Do you know any Dentists or anybody studying dentistry, and can give me more info about it?

I'm considering a career in dentistry. I know it takes a lot of hard hard work, but what I'd like to know is how hard is the coursework and is it plausible for someone to get through it.?

Do you know any Dentists or anybody studying dentistry, and can give me more info about it?
DAVID,





A FRIEND OF MINE ONCE SAID, "ANYTHING WORTH HAVING IS WORTH WAITING AND WORKING FOR."


THE COURSEWORK HAS MANY SCIENCES LIKE BIOCHEMISTRY, ANATOMY, MICROBIOLOGY,ETC., TO IT.


IT'S A STEP BY STEP PROCESS. THERE ARE STAGES TO ALL OF IT.


I DID NOT THINK OF IT AS 4 YEARS OF HELL AFTER UNDERGRAD, BUT I JUST TOOK IT ONE DAY AT A TIME, AND KEPT SEEING MYSELF GRADUATING AS A DOCTOR OF DENTAL SURGERY.


LOOKING BACK THOSE YEARS SEEM LIKE A DROP IN THE BUCKET.


THE KEY IS LOVING WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO COMMIT TO. IF YOU DON'T LOVE THE FIELD THEN IT'S NOT FOR YOU.
Reply:It's not easy. Start getting experience now shadowing dentists and such. Dental school is four grueling years. Lots of lab time, lots of studying, lots of luck.
Reply:Is 4 years of college and 3 or 4 dental school. In dental schoo you would take a lot of oral pathology, pharmacology, dental materials, and a lot of clinical. I am a dental assistant going to school for dental hyegien, because I don't want to end up with a 300,000 dollar loan, And dental hyegien is a great field.
Reply:I'm a student, if you really but really love with all your heart and mind this career, go ahead... If you have doubts, investigate about it, study it a year, if you don't like it in this time, forget it. But it's very difficult, you have to spend a lot of time studying, you'll see your friends having a future, couple, kids, money, job, and you'll continue been a student. Sometimes, you feel frustated and stressed but if you love it, everything will be easier, but you do your best effort. Pray, God bless you
