Jennifer A.’s Answer

You'll take 4 years of college, 4 years of dental school and then about 2 years of specialty training. If that seems like too much, I recommend becoming a dental hygienist. You can work for a pediatric dentist without the stress of running a practice, you'll have excellent work hours (usually Mon-Thurs), and you'll make great money! An RDH usually starts around $34/hour. Good luck!
