As a dentist, you have the opportunity to strengthen your patient’s self-confidence, improve their overall health, and potentially even save lives. For example, infections such as cancer can show their first symptoms in the oral cavity. As a result, the dentist often serves as the first line of detection for these life-threatening diseases. Dentists most certainly make a difference in the lives of their patients.

Furthermore, there are recognized specialties for those who want to specialize after dental school. The recognized dental specialties include Endodontist, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Orthodontists, Pediatric dentist, Periodontist, Prosthodontist, Oral Pathologists and Dental Radiology. In addition, dentists make a good living. The dentist’s average income is considered to be in the top 3 percent of all possible professions(1). At the same time, dentists on average work almost a full day less each week than their physician counterparts. Experts predict that these trends will continue well into the future. Plus, there are more dentists retiring each year than there are new dentists graduating from dental school. The need for dental professionals continues to grow just as our populations continue to increase, and as long as people have mouths, people will need dentists.
