What does it take to become a dentist (e.g. mentally, financially, physically, educationally)?
I am a rising high school senior that has a lot of English-related extracurriculars, but now I'm not sure that I want a career in English, journalism, or media. So, I have been looking into what being a dental associate would be like, and it seems like a hands-on, stable, rewarding job. Beyond my surface-level understanding, what does it take to become a dentist, especially considering that I'm not sure in what I want to major in?
If you could design your dream job in dentistry, what would it look like?
Would you be creating perfect smiles in your own clinics, traveling the world fixing teeth, or inventing the next big dental technological advancements?
Can I major in Business Management and go to Dental School or Optometry School?
I'm a freshman who just started college and I'm quite confused. At first I was a business major and then switched over to biological sciences because I've always wanted a career in the health field and thought that might be the best major. Now, I don't really think so. I either want to be a dentist or an optometrist, two things that I am interested in along with business. Will it be a bad idea to major in business rather than something like psychology or a science-major? Thank you. #college-major #business #entrepreneur #college #business-management #pre-dental #pre-optometry #dental #health #optometry

Would it be a smart move to go out of state for college even if I'm undecided on a major?
I am undecided on a major and have applied to out of state colleges and universities, but I'm scared it'll be a waste of money because I am undecided on my major. I have strongly been considering a business major and minoring in Spanish. Pre-Dentistry is also something I have considered but my mind is not made up 100% #business-major #outofstate #incomingfreshman #undecided #spanishminor #pre-dental

For a aspiring Orthodontist/Dentist what course would be reasonable to take, AP Stat or Pre-Calcu?
Today we were given our course registration for next year, which will be my senior year in high school. I'm currently in Algebra II and have the option of taking either AP Statistics or Pre-Calculus H next year. What would you recommend for an aspiring Orthodontist or Dentist? I know that most med schools require one of the two or a semester of Calculus and a semester of Statistics. My two dream colleges are Tufts University and Simmons College. I’m struggling between which of the two to take because my Geometry teacher from last year feels it will be a good fit to take AP Stats, while my Algebra II teacher feels I’ll benefit from pre-calc. Now I’m stuck because I feel If I pick between the two, my future in choosing colleges will be based off my senior year courses. #dentistry #dentist #orthodontist #pre-dental
