Hi, my name is Samuel Boyer. I am currently studying Pure Science. I'm doing my second year as a student at Lionel Groulx. I am not sure what I want to do after cegep, but the dentist could be a good field of study. This article can be useful for students who want to become dentists. I am motivated to write it because I am surely going to learn about this job and maybe it's going to entertain me more than I probably thought.
Being a dentist is a stressful job, because if you make a mistake, it may injure the health of someone. You have to be careful about what you are doing. Like others, this job is not the only one to be stressful. A tip that can be helpful to deal with stress is slowing down and take time for yourself. When you are on the job, you need to be focus. When it's a day off, you don't need to think about your job and just take time for yourself.
They are taking care of our dental health. Which means that a dentist can help you if you have cavities or one of your tooth hurt. Beyond this, a dentist can help you in your life such as having good self-esteem. Sometimes, he can talk to you and this could help you feel better. He is not only taking care of your dental health. If you have a good-looking smile, it's connected with your esteem.
On a typical day, a dentist will eat in the morning and gets ready for work. He is seeing patients all day long. The number of patients can depend on what does the patient need because there are surgeries that take more time to do than others. It's about 6 to 8 patients. After seeing all the patients, there is paperwork that needs to be done. This paperwork helps him keep up with the patient and help him remember what he did and what he needs to do when he is going to see this patient again. He will just take a look at the patient he has the next day and heads back home.
Some dentists work at the hospital and some work in a private clinic.
You need to go to university for 5 years and graduate from there. Before that, you need to be accepted into this program which is difficult, because there are a lot of students who want to go into this field of study, but not very few places offer. You need good grades and be better than most of the students to be chosen in this program.
The average salary of a dentist in Canada is $132 233 per year.
The most known and useful training to become a dentist is soap training. In this training, you need to cut the soap and do some figure. This can help you be more agile with your finger.
In contrary to policeman or firefighter, dentist is not a dangerous job.
The reason why a dentist wouldn't be replaced by robots is, that this job needs a lot of dexterity and you need to talk with the patient to understand what is wrong or what hurts him.
Even if you are old, you can still work as a dentist, because some of them are still working after 30 years in this job. Some of them can go to 40 years.
To conclude, I think that dentist is a job that requires dexterity and concentration. Even if it's a stressful job, you can deal with it. A lot of dentists love what they are doing and this is the most important thing of all. If you want to become a dentist, you need to have human care and have to put yourself in the shoes of the patient.
