Next Good Point – Lots of Excitement …
6. Excitement in Abundance
It’s a misnomer that dentistry as a profession gets boring. It’s the reverse.
If you have got the right attitude then dentistry can never be boring for you. In-fact you will enjoy dealing with different types of clinical cases and dealing with different types of patients. You will get immense satisfaction with the feeling that you are using your clinical knowledge to the benefit of people and also gaining name and money for yourself.
With the variety and different types of cases & persons –
there is hardly any chance for the work to be monotonous.
You wouldn’t expect it to be action-packed, but it’s not your average desk job pushing paper around.
There’s never a dull moment.
Whether it’s a kooky patient,
an assistant who calls in sick,
or an emergency root canal,
you will not get bored.
But there is a downside to it.
If you are not mentally strong or agile – all these managing and tackling different type of dental cases with different patients can definitely take a tool on you.
Unless you have the inherent joy in dealing with different type of clinical cases, you will get irritable in the long run.
But if you have the right attitude, fitting for a dentist, then every work day will be exciting.
The day will fly by, and there will be no chance to sit around, bored, staring at the clock waiting for the hours to pass you by.

There is no one sitting on your head bossing you to come and go at any particular time.
Its your own business venture and you will decide your own time. Of course you will need to work long hours in the initial days. But once when your practice is set up then you are free to decide your timing and take a vacation whenever you want. There are very few jobs that give you this luxury.
Part-time is always a possibility, allowing you to maintain a balanced lifestyle.
It’s also a great career for women who want to have a family.
