Is becoming a dentist hard?

  • i am in grade 9 so any advice, anything, would be helpful to me. i'm in canada. 1. how expensive is it? (i am poor and since its a huge loan, is it just a waste of money and time because the chances of me not making it? and i will have this huge loan that i could never in my life pay off. ) 2. what percent of the people who want to become a dentist actually make it? 3. what should i do in high school? 4. University of Toronto's dental average GPA acceptance is 3.94 ! is this crazy for me because i have an 84.4 student average. can i make it? 5. i have an 80% math grade. is that ok? or do i have to get higher? because math has a role in this too right? 6. what do i have to go through to be a dentist? 7. what am i up against? please don't say i am over reacting or any stuff like that, because this is really important to me for reasons. please help me and thank you.

  • Answer:

    Yes, it is hard because it is a medical program. Don't let lack of money or being female discourage you. You need to take all the math and science offered in high school. You need to look at some of the schools of dentistry you might apply to and see their prerequisites. Your high school counselor should be able to help, too. Don't let him/her talk you out of this. If you need better grades, this will motivate you. The dental schools I looked up had prerequisite courses you take in college before you are admitted into the school of dentistry. You will take lecture courses and on-hands classes and also have the chance to work on real people with dental problems. That's how you learn. You should talk to your own dentist and get some suggestions. Your counselor or the university should tell you how many people don't make it. Not everyone who doesn't complete the work leaves because they can't handle it. This is an excellent goal. Good luck in making it. You might want to consider working with children, especially those with special needs that regular dentists won't handle - autistic, severely handicapped.. Their parents will be thrilled.
