Dentist
Duties and Responsibilities:
A dentist, also known as a dental
surgeon, is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and
treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity. The dentist’s
supporting team aids in providing oral health services. The dental team
includes dental assistants, dental hygienists, dental technicians, and in some
states, dental therapist.
Salary: $72,240 - $187,999
Education:
Aspiring dentists need to
complete years of education, training and residency before starting a practice
of their own. They also need to decide on the type of dentistry they plan to
pursue, whether general, pediatric or some form of oral or maxillofacial surgery.
In addition to formal education, many future dentists may benefit from training
in communication and management, specifically to hone the skills needed to run
an office and hire, train and maintain a staff.
Reflection:
I think I would like to become a
dentist because they get paid really well and not only that but they work with
people and take care of their personal hygiene. I like careers that help people
with their appearance. For example, Doctor they help people with body problems
and give them regularly checkups.
