Your choice of career is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. It can determine much about your enjoyment of life, your financial status and much more. Here are some of the benefits that our Association considers significant to choosing a career in dentistry:
Dentists treat people, not just teeth and mouths. They interact with people of all ages, cultures and personalities. The dentist's typical day is diverse and interesting.
Creativity
Dentists are artists as well as scientists. To brighten one tooth or realign an entire jaw, dentists must have an artist's esthetic sense to help their patients look their best.
Prestige
Dentists provide an essential health care service. They are highly respected within the community.
Dentists are skilled, conscientious, civic-minded individuals who work with community leaders, educators, other health professionals and government officials. They often volunteer services to school health programs and to elderly, medically compromised or poor citizens, demonstrating a selflessness that is a hallmark of professionalism.
Flexibility
Dentistry allows you to be your own boss. Dentists can balance their personal and professional lives to meet their individual needs and desires.
Dentistry provides opportunities in a variety of private and public settings including private practice, teaching, research, public health and administration.
Personal Satisfaction
A career in dentistry is personally fulfilling. Dentists perform an important public service to help people maintain their health and appearance. To serve the present and future oral health needs of their patients, dentists enjoy the challenge of a lifetime of learning. Tomorrow's dentists will be at the cutting edge of high technology, making the practice of dentistry even more exciting and rewarding than it is today.
