I'd like to be a dentist, but my teeth aren't perfect?!


Question: I'd like to be a dentist, but my teeth aren't perfect?
I'm 16, and I've needed braces since I was 11. I haven't gotten them because of their high cost. I really want to be a dentist, but I don't know how a dentist with less than perfect teeth would work out.

you can still become a dentist.
It may affect your relationship with your patients.



If you want to be a dentist then be a dentist! My dentists teeth are yellow because he used to smoke. There are a lot of dentists that have teeth issues and once you become a dentist you'd probably have enough money to pay for the braces.



You can always get braces after you become a dentist. Many adults get braces, because they did not have them when they were younger.



Dentists usually get free braces from the orthodontist they refer patients to.
