Ha, they all require years of extra training and paeds requires you to be top hot sh*t.

I also met the highest paid implantologist in Europe, he definitely didn't describe him self as a cosmetic dentist: the stuff he did was ridiculously awesome. .

Lol @ the inserting teeth one.

Either way do whatever you'll actually prefer, I think we can establish that the pay isn't really the determining factor in this situation and doing something which you aren't really interested in won't end well in the long run. If you'll enjoy being a doctor more then do that.

You'd be suprised at the things that certain dentists can do. Some of it is just amazing and leaves you wondering how the hell someone thought of doing that. No blood? One slip of the high speed drill into the gums and you'll think again lol.
