Am I smart enough even to do Dentistry?

Yes... they practice on pigs. Ever seen a pig with toothache?

I didn't get what you meant

Trainee dentists practice on pigs. They are omnivores so teeth very similar to ours.

You NEED experience in any dental setting - ring up as many dentists as you can until you get somewhere

If you can stare into the mouth of a sedated pig...

If you can stare into the mouth of a sedated pig... or, well... want the rest?

Go ahead I wanna hear

Or a pig's head minus the body, plenty at the abattoir You need guts to be a dentist. Pigs live maybe 12 yrs. So staring into a mouth with 50 yrs decay can be... omg... stomach churning!

Dude I can stare into even the most disgusting thing.

But the thing is most of the dental practices don't even do work experience offers and one of them said they don't do till next year

I get it it’s difficult but get anyone you know who can help to get you experience, continue ringing around even if the dentist is a bit far out and ask you’re own dentist for advice on how to get experience

Hey, look you gotta start doubting yourself. Only reason you aren't good enough for dentistry is because you believe you are not. If it's something you want to do, you're willing to put in the work and effort and you believe in yourself than who's to say you're not smart enough? Start changing your thoughts and the way you carry yourself. Every time a negative thought comes into your mind such as "I'm not smart enough", change it to " I am smart enough". Ignore those who make you feel like you can't do something, negative people do you no good. Keep trying with the work experience, out of all the places you contact it takes only one to say yes. Best of luck to you

I appreciate your telling me that it is a tough job
However, I could easily withstand Mortal Kombat X fatalitites and gory stuff. I understand that people pass out due to how putrid it is
But you can do whatever you want if you put your mind to it
And if I get the job of dentistry (hopefully) then I can withstand anything if even it is the goriest of them all
For me getting the actual job would the toughest thing for me
Plus can I ask you a important question?
