Dentist

Duties and Responsibilities:

A dentist provides oral health services to adults and children. Dentists work with patients to promote dental health. They diagnose and treat oral health issues .Most dentists are general practitioners who do exams, fill cavities, and pull out teeth; however, some choose a subspecialty of dentistry, such as orthodontics. Doctors mostly work in private practice although they could work for established dental offices.

Average Salary:

$152,700

Education:

Prior to become a dentist, the future dentist needs to have a bachelor's degree before they enter medical school.  And then while in medical school, future dentists need to earn a doctoral degree in dental medicine or dental surgery. A dentist also needs a state license before making a business for dentistry.

Demand:

The demand for dentist is always good because we always need new dentist for every generation. Its also not a job that can be replaced by machine, or at least not yet so it is a stable career choice.

Add a picture:

Reflection: I would not like to be a dentist because I have not very steady hands and that's what you don’t want from a dentist. I also don’t like oral surgery because it creeps me out all the teeth and holes in the teeth.
