Do you think you can do a good career that requires you to look after other health and healthcare issues? Can you deal with people who require medical help and treatment? Or would you love the idea to work with minute detailing and can handle various medical equipment? Or would you like to manage and organize an individual medical institution dedicated to a particular field of specialty? If so, you can think of the career of a Dentist.
A Dentist is a person who promotes good dental health and the prevention of dental diseases in the specific health care industry. They diagnose and treat problems with patients' teeth, gums, and related parts of the mouth. They provide advice and instruction on taking care of the teeth and gums and on diet choices that affect oral health. Dentists use a variety of equipment, including x-ray machines, drills, mouth mirrors, probes, forceps, brushes, and scalpels. They also use lasers, digital scanners, and other computer technologies.
In addition, dentists in private practice oversee a variety of administrative tasks, including bookkeeping and buying equipment and supplies. They employ and supervise dental hygienists, dental assistants, dental laboratory technicians, and receptionists
All undergraduate dental students need to undergo a one-year-internship before getting their BDS degree.
