We are looking at 7 points that a dentist must have to survive a career in dentistry.

5. Are You Bad in Communication?

Please understand that dentistry is 90 % PR based job. You have to be good in public talking.

Even if you are angry with a patient – you cannot shout or show anger.

You have put forward your thoughts in a controlled manner.

It might sound easy – but it actually very difficult.

6. The Weak Hearted

If you are the ones who would cry at the drop of a hat,

then you are just not emotionally made for this.

Expect things to go terribly wrong at the most crucial moment. Like the exam dates.

They always manage to give you tension 😀

You might get ditched by your patient before your exam,

your model might fall and break, your ‘just perfect’ restoration might just crumble in a moment and much more !

• Medical & Dental exams are very very stressful. The exam dates always come as a surprise.
• The marking is such that some times you fail just by one mark.
• Some times you do well in theory … but the teacher fails you in practicals as its completely in their hands.
• Commonly all these factors take a lot out of a dental student. Long hours of study, difficult curriculum, clinical cases & finding patients for exams.
• It all sounds tough but in reality, it much more tougher.

• You might get ditched by your patient before your exam, your model might fall and break, your ‘just perfect’ restoration might just crumble in a moment and much more !
• Its like a prolonged game that keeps running for the entire year and then the fate of the entire year depends on the exam only.

• If you aren’t strong enough to handle stressful situations you might just collapse midway.

It really gets very frustrating.

But you can’t do anything but just shout when you are alone.

7. Don’t Be A Cry Baby  ! !

Want to survive dentistry – then please don’t be a cry baby.

Dentistry is a tough career and you need to harden up.

If you be a cry baby like the picture below – then you won’t survive a career in dentistry.

It’s time to toughen up.

So, I hope, that you understand by now, that you need to bring

certain changes in you in order to survive and be successful in dentistry.

So as Client East Wood Said –

Its Time To Toughen Up And go for the Battle. Mind it.
