Questions about finishing dental school?
Hi
I have some questions regarding dental school. I got accetpted in dental school but I dont' know if dental school is really tough to finish that someone has to drop out. Thanks
Answers:
The academic material covered in dental school is not super-difficult. As long as you put in the time to read and review the material, you should do OK. The graduation rate for dental schools across the USA is in the high 90-percent range. That tells you a lot about the difficulty of the academic material.
The problem some people encounter is the hand skills. Some people just have no business handling a high-speed handpiece to drill a tooth. That's the biggest reason why some people drop out.
If you are good with your hands, willing to put in the time to do the studying, and are genuinely interested in the profession, you will do fine.
