Dentist

Duties and Responsibilities: Dentists are doctors who specialize in oral health. Their responsibilities include:

• Diagnosing oral diseases.
• Promoting oral health and disease prevention.
• Creating treatment plans to maintain or restore the oral health of their patients.
• Interpreting x-rays and diagnostic tests.
• Ensuring the safe administration of anesthetics.
• Monitoring growth and development of the teeth and jaws.
• Performing surgical procedures on the teeth, bone and soft tissues of the oral cavity.

Salary: Dentists are very well compensated for the services they provide. According to the BLS, dentists earned a median salary of $146,340 in 2013. The best-paid earned more than $187,999, while the lowest-paid earned less than $72,240. Dentists who work in private offices are paid particularly well, but so are those who work alongside other health practitioners.

Education: In most cases a bachelors degree is required before admittance to dental school. Occasionally some dental schools students who have completed a three-year pre-dental program. Each dental school has it’s own list or prerequisites sure you research and understand them before advancing too far in your undergraduate studies such as Chemistry, Organic Chemistry , Biochemistry, Biology, Statistics, and Physics.

Reflection: I think I would not like to be a Dentist because I really would not like at peoples teeth and trying to clean their teeth and then there are going to be many patients to attend.
