Yah-E said:You kids laugh about this stuff now, but when you get to be a D4, you'll be dying trying to find patients like this for either RPDs or full dentures to complete your graduation requirements!
Patients like this is a "gold mine"!
BTW, not even the grossest thing you'll see in dentistry! As matter of fact, this patient look quite healthy and some great ridge for dentures.
ItsGavinC said:It's true that many of these predents seem to have no idea what dentistry is about. I wonder if they'll freak out when half of their patient pool looks like that. Maybe they should do some more research on the profession before jumping into it. Is that picture funny? Probably...until you have to spend a zillion appointments making RPDs for the guy.
Dental Jedi said:For example, I know one girl who wanted to be a physician and didnt get in so she applied for dental at the last minute and got in. I am sure she will be clueless.
coolraz said:Haha, do you really think she's gonna survive dental school, much less actually practice dentistry? Puhleaaase. You know dental applicants are not "dummer", it's just a different set of skills is necessary (like hand skills and people skills which 99% of med students absolutely do NOT have : ) Of course you can BS your way into D-school by saying how much you love teeth, but if you actually dont, you cant bs your way through 30 years of practicing dentistry (oh wait...maybe that explains all those dentists suicides : )

I guess in this white-male/female dominated forum it is okay to make obvious racial jokes and then have them SUPPORTED by the mods, and not closed. Okay so I know what is next..."this isn't racist its just a funny pic and we are discussing possible treatment options" bull $h!t!
The title of this thread (a reference to a "grill" something obviously embraced by the AA community) along with the "Yeaaaaa" a known slang term said in many rap songs supports the idea that this is a racist joke by some ignorant pre dent with whom I will shudder to share a profession with. This deeply concerns me, but I guess this is what minorities will learn to deal with in this field. That still does not make it right.

Sprgrover said:Let's not fall into the trap of broad labels and assigning racial prejudices. It's obvious the person in the picture is of African descent but beyond that I have yet to read a post containing racial slurs, using the image to leverage the white/black binary, or recycling pathetic cultural stereotypes. It's nice that you are applying lessons in deconstructivist thought, semiotics, and cultural identities, but please realize that signs and their interpretation are subjective - such as your critique of other's reactions. Please refrain from assuming my biases as well as my cultural and personal affiliations and rest assurred that me and the other mods will be quick to act on this thread should things take a turn for the worse. To demonstrate my commitment to this statement this topic is now closed - first and final warning.
