Becoming a dentist takes a very long time and a bunch of hard work. You have to take at least 8 years of dentistry school and graduate. This is a lot of work but the payout is worth every second of hard work you ever put into it. Below are some reasons why becoming a dentist is a very smart decision.
Not only will you be doing what you love and helping people everyday, you will also be earning quite a bit of money doing so. I go into more detail in the dentists salaries tab above but on average you earn over $120,000 a year! That is a lot of money to be getting paid for what you enjoy doing. If you enjoy learning about the human body and mouth then becoming a dentist will suite your interests. You get to work with people everyday and interact with your community. You will also have the option to become a specialist in a certain form of dentistry such as a orthodontist or oral surgeon. This adds a perk that most jobs don't have. If you get bored being a general dentist you can always go back to school to specialize in something. This is what makes being a dentist so worthwhile.
