Dentistry is a very manual job, requiring good levels of manual dexterity. It’s a good career choice for women who would like to have families as there’s plenty of flexibility to work part – time. Dentists are normally paid on a per treatment basis. One needs to find ways to keep learning and applying one’s mind as the work can become a little “conveyor belt” like.
The Good
It pays well
It’s a stable and secure career (we all need a dentist)
