Dentistry

Dentistry has become one of the most interesting fields in the healthcare services sector. There are many new materials and techniques which have been developed for use in modern dentistry. Nowadays, even ugly teeth can be repaired to look nice. Even missing teeth can be made and added to fill in the gaps and remove an ugly smile with missing teeth.

I would suggest prospective students to try and take up dentistry as it has become a good field to study and to work in. Studying dentistry overseas is a good thing as the institutions are more established and the # and hours of practicals seem sufficient.

Australia has good dental programmes. USA has good dental services & clinics. Most of the private clinics are good. In California, they do very good crowns which last a lifetime (crowns usually last a few years). It will be good to obtain sufficient exposure from many dental practices and then open a dental practice or work at a dental clinic in a large hospital or a small district hospital. The place of work should not matter, only the skills should matter. It is better to learn all the skills and then get to work rather than the other way round.
