8. The Ones With Money Issue
If you are among those who need to be careful about the money being spent on education, then you need to give it a second thought.
-
- Dentistry curriculum is quite expensive. The money spent would not only include your course fees but the books, expensive equipment, conferences, programs and at times bribe to your patients to come for your exams.
- Dentistry is a very investment oriented profession. The investment starts right from the day you join a dental college.
- Even after passing out of dental college, the investment does not stop. You will want to start your own professional set up. That again requires a huge financial investment.
- Yes if you are a government-sponsored dental student then the expenditure is very less. However, the number of such students are meager.
9.The Poor Communicators
If you are not good at convincing people, you will have a tough time in dentistry.
Being a little street smart can help you get through and take you a long way in this profession.
However, if you are just not a people’s person or you find it hard to communicate and convince people, you will lag in the race of dentistry, despite doing well academically.
After all, dentistry is a Public Relation based business.
You need to talk well and look professional.
You need to be polite.
You have to tackle angry patients tactfully and much more.
All this you can do only when you are calm in mind and heart.
You just can’t afford to lose your cool like in the picture below 😀
You need to get good at your communication skills & ANGER MANAGEMENT and always be cool/calm like the picture below next
