My choice: dentistry

Hello everyone, today I will tell you a little bit about the career that I chose. At this moment I’m studying Dentistry at University of Chile, this is my second year. I do not remember exactly the moment or year I chose to study this, but it was many years ago, it was always my first and maybe only option I had.

I always liked science and helping people and that is why I made this decision.

In this profession we are responsible of the oral health, the prevention, treatment and diagnosis. It is a very difficult career because it has two parts, the theoretical and the one about manual skills that you need. It has been exhausting so far, we must study too much, but it is comforting that someday we will be the ones who are going to change somebody’s life, we can make someone to smile again, and give people a better quality of life.

In the other hand as you probably know, dentistry is the most expensive career, for students this is maybe the most difficult part, we need a lot of material to learn and to use with our patients.

Even all of that I love what I’m studying, and I look forward the day I become a dentist.
