Would you feel disgusted if I tell you that I want to be a dentist?!

Question: Would you feel disgusted if I tell you that I want to be a dentist.?

I am a female for your information and I want to be a dentist but many people are so disgusted when someone tell them that he/she wants to be a dentist because he/she has to see 'nasty' mouth.

What do you think.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:

No. That is totally the wrong attitude because when your a dentist so many benefits can occur i.e. you can potentially help save someones life if they walk in to your practise or whatever and complain of gum ache (random) and you find its the symptoms of mouth cancer. your actually helping some one with a vital part of their digestive system. so no i am not disgusted, i'm elated...hehe

peace

Wow! People are disgusted when you tell them you want to be a dentist.? weird. Those people must not care about their teeth or whatnot. You may have to see 'nasty' mouth but hey someones gotta do it.
I think being a dentist is an admirable job choice better than say a sewer worker, now that's nasty lol
Good luck
:)

Well seeing a bunch of mouths all day isn't something I'd want to do but if you're interested in it then go for it! It'll be a lot of hard work and schooling but eventually worth it in the future. I did hear somewhere that dentists have the highest rate of suicide though but I'm not sure if that's an urban legend. Health Question & Answer

I think that's it's perfectly fine. Doctors have to see the insides of people, same with vets, and police officers have people pee and puke on them. But Truly, you should just do what you want. Every job has something that people may think of as gross, but what would we do without dentists.? also, I ssoo wish I had a girl dentist, they seem hard to find.Health Question & Answer

No way! Dentists are awesome! People may say that but they are thankful for dentists! They help with their teeth! So i mean your helping people...who cares if you have to look at dirty mouths....i mean seriously people theres nothing wrong with that! I definately would not feel disgusted! =)
p.s.dont let what people say stop you from doing what you want to do! =) BEST OF WISHES!

I personally don't think that's disgusting at all. If you really want to do it than push aside what everyone else says. They don't determine your future, you do. That's a good profession to go for anyways. Trust me, its not disgusting at all, let them think what they want.Health Question & Answer

Not at all, I want to be an orthodontist, but I don't think I could study well enough... anyway I think it would be great but I wouldn't have to see too much gross stuff like a normal dentist.. Lol.. If you have a passion for it you should definetly do it!!Health Question & Answer

FYI,
these are the wrong ignorant people that don't understand that you'd be a doctor of dentistry or a doctor of dental medicine, DDS OR DMD, respectively.

Teeth used to totally disgust me, but now, they don't bother me much. It's just sort of a personal preference I guess.Health Question & Answer
