Can visually impaired or physically disabled people become dentists? Can you get time extensions in dental school if you have accommodations
I am completely blind in my left eye and I was wondering if I could still work in the oral cavity with limited vision. I am also in a wheelchair and I was wondering if there were any physically disabled dentists.

Would studying dental or veterinary be a cheaper and easier career choice?
Hi I am currently in the process of registering to San Jose City College and I am having trouble on deciding a career choice. I am very fond of animals as I have a fair share of pets myself. I feel very passionate about this but at the same time I am aware of the effort and time it takes to study this. Although, I am also intrigued by dental study since a lot of my family members have already pursued this career and have succeeded. I am pleased with the wages for dental assistants in the area of San Jose but I am wondering if it's truly worth it.
