Hey, I've shadowed my orthodontist for like 20-30 hours and there was no doubt I would love to do this for a living however I just started (I feel stupid for not starting with him) shadowing the general dentist and it kind of grosses me out or annoys me, today wasn't that bad, but I just can't see myself enjoying this.
Is it time to consider another profession or do you think I should give it more time maybe it gets better? Today was my first day shadowing the general dentist and I spent like 4-5 hours with him and I just felt annoyed, maybe it was because I slept like 3 hours last night and i'm just cranky lol.
Have any of you automatically just loved dentistry or did it grow on you over time?
I know I would enjoy orthodontics but with how competitive it is there's a good chance I might not get into the residency. And I don't know I'm just not sure how to feel about this, I'm approaching my last year of my Microbiology degree and I've hopped around from law to the health field, first pharmacy for a long time then dentistry for like 6-7 months and now I'm having doubts about dentistry. I really do enjoy the health field and want to stay in it but I don't know...
