I will be attending dental school soon, but the cost has been weighing heavily on my mind. What are some key ways to minimize expenses during dental school and to pay off debt quickly afterward?

I would love to own my own private dental practice someday but do not know how feasible it would be if I entered into it with the burden of a large debt. #dentistry #private-practice

I will soon be attending dental school and am trying to gather information on specialties. General dentists seem to see a wide variety of cases, whereas specialists focus only on certain types of situations. In what ways do specialties, such as periodontics and endodontics, remain exciting if many of the patients present similar problems?
