Dentistry Pros and Cons

I'm in Year 12 and considering doing Dentistry, I have heard a lot of good things about it such as the flexible work hours, stable job and a good salary. Is there any Dentists that could verify these? Are there any disadvantages to doing Dentistry. It seems like a very chill job compared to some of the other medical field jobs. Thanks

IMHO it's tougher to get a Uni dental school place than a Uni med school place. Being a dentist is generally harder on the body than being a doctor. Still mentally stressful too.

But yeah, can be more flexible for a family life outside of work.
