It is my absolute belief that most dentists and most dental students that go into dental school are not trained in the ways of dentistry. As such, they do not understand the proper care and treatment of teeth and gums.
This is a difficult subject to discuss, and I think we all agree that most would be better off not going into dental school at all. That said, I have a few friends who went into dental school, and they didn’t get anywhere near the quality of training that their counterparts at other institutions have.
I was one of these. I didn’t get anywhere near the quality of training that my colleagues have because, well, I didn’t go into it in the manner the rest of them did. In fact, I got my training in a completely different way. I wanted to be a dentist because I had some dental experience, but not much. I wanted to go into dental school because I wanted to get my education, but not because I wanted to be in dental school.
I see now that the difference between dentists and other professions is often the difference between those who have skills that a dentist can use in a variety of dental situations or a dentist who can only use those skills in an oral situation. I think people who go into dentistry for a career have it easy because they have a lot of skills that can be used in dentistry and a lot of dental knowledge.
I think there are a lot of dental professions out there that have to have people really good. I think doctors and dentists are great at being doctors because they can use their skills in a variety of situations and are quite good at making diagnoses and making decisions. Dentists are great at removing plaque and keeping teeth clean, but not so good at taking care of the bones and teeth. I think that’s why dentists are so good at getting a job in dentistry.
Well put.
Well put. Its not that dentists are bad, its just that they aren’t as good at taking care of their own bodies as they should be. Dentistry has a long and storied history, going back to the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc. I think its because dentists are so good at what they do that they really feel they have to take care of themselves and its not a reflection that they actually care about the patient.
I feel like there are a lot of people in this world who are really good at taking care of their bodies but somehow have to be a little bit less good at taking care of their teeth, because they are so good at dentistry.
I think it is just the opposite. Dentists are the most caring profession in the world and yet they seem to have so much difficulty taking care of their teeth. It just happens to be my favorite profession, but I think it is because they are so good at their job that they don’t feel they have to put in the extra effort.
One answer is that we are simply not made the same. Dentists are highly trained professionals and yet we are as much a novice as they are. For instance, no one really believes that dentists and surgeons are the same people. Dentists are more skilled than surgeons because they have to learn more skills to become good at their field and yet we have so much trouble with our skills.
