I recently got in a good conversation with a Dr. Tom Hong DDS on this board on why people choose to go into dentistry as pre-dental students. I would appreciate your feedback if the poll is misleading in any way. 🙂
 
Funny, I never thought this was a newbie/veteran kind of conversation. Just honest opinions would be appreciated.

I've always wanted to be an OB/GYN doc. Choosing my career and training in dentistry would fulfill my long dream. 😉 Most hospitals will let general dentists deliver baby and give hospital's privilege after few years in private practice.
 
Uhh, is there a catagory for "dentist get some serious dome.."

Maybe not, heh?
