Hi, I'm planning to take AFK class but found most of the training institute are based in Toronto. Can anyone suggest any training institute which can offer online courses? Thank you.

Not considering yearly salary, what are the highest paid hourly med/dent specialties? I’ve heard orthopedics, plastics, dermatology, orthodontics, endodontics, and oral surgery all make a killing but some work fairly more hours/week.

Since the beginning of December, I've been in a bit of a bind. I received acceptances to VCU, LECOM, and Nova. Obviously, only one of them can be chosen, but I suppose it would be best to get other opinions. Despite being a Florida resident, VCU seems to be the cheapest option since LECOM and...

Hello everyone, I am working on a research project on e-cigarrettes. I have combed through scholarly journals already, I am interested in YOUR (the practitioner) thoughts. 1. Do you recommend e-cigarettes to patients as a smoking- or chewing-tobacco cessation tool? 2. Have patients asked...

I took my DAT in January 2017 and recently (12/01/17) was accepted into dental school. These are the materials I used to prepare for the exam and I highly recommend this study package to anyone who really wants to pass the DAT exam with high scores. Selling bundle for $250(USD). This bundle...

I am a senior taking DE Multivariable Calculus. I made a bunch of stupid mistakes on a test and now there is a chance that I might end the class with a B. However, I there is alot of time to pull myself back to an A. If I get a B how much will it hurt my odds of getting into dental school or if...

Hello! I am currently a D1 student and was wondering if I can spend my longer winter or summer breaks to earn some certificates that can benefit me as a student and hopefully as a future dentist. Please post if you have any ideas or advice

I, as well as a few others, received an email from USC saying that I am a post-interview candidate. Does anyone have any knowledge on this type of status? They said it's not a "waitlist" because there are still spots available, but I'm wondering the chances of still getting in are. Also, if...

I feel very fortunate to have been accepted to all these schools, but now comes the decision time! I am a resident of Virginia and have gone to undergrad at Richmond and so I would see the same city for the next 4 years if I attended VCU. Buuut, I was offered a 60Kscholarship ($15K per year) to...

hey I am just wondering I interviewed at a TX school at November 13 and heard nothing back from today I think they sent an email out at 12:01am. Also I didnt hear that I was waitlisted from that so what should I do feel bad that I didnt get waitlisted?

Hey all, I applied to orthodontics this year and unfortunately did not match. I am trying to figure out what I want to do next year. I am currently doing a GPR and could potentially be the chief next year. I am fully committed to becoming an orthodontist and want to make my application as...

Hi, I'm graduating with a biology degree next semester and have applied to some dental schools this cycle. I am trying to figure out a "back up" plan if I am not accepted. I know many people from my university in Canada take an extra year and complete their honours degree, which seems like a...

Hi everyone... I have an oral test interpreting these two radiographs tomorrow, and I was wondering if you could help, in case I missed anything. What the structure above the maxillary sinus in the periapical? My first thought would be the zygomatic process, but shouldn't that be a bit lower...

Thank you!

I had made an arrangement with a dentist near by to shadow him. On the phone I talked to the receptionist who told me to come half an hour early to go over the lists of patients. I gladly agreed and when I came in I was greeted by the staff and then by the dentist. He invited to go back in...

I did not see a thread for The University of Mississippi Medical Center School of Dentistry.

Hi all, I was wondering what my chances at dental schools in NYC are and any comments will be appreciated. Please be straightforward. So I messed up early in UG due to numerous problems. I finally decided to pursue dentistry in my final year and that's when I changed my major from chemistry...

Does anyone know how many students are generally accepted here on Dec 1? I know the class is a size of 64, but do they accept more than that? Also, how many usually interview here? Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone, Does it really matter where you complete your dental pre-reqs for dental school so long as they are completed at a 4-year institution? For example: If I'm interested in attending Tufts School of Dental Medicine, would I be a more enticing applicant if I completed their...

So i am graduating this spring with a BS in Psy. I have finished all the pre-reqs and taken upper science courses such as Anatomy and Physiology 1 & 2, Microbiology and Biochem. Should i bother taking Immunology my last semester? The courses i will be taking is my last psy class, a drawing...

Hi All, I am in my fourth year of DS. My wife and I currently live in a nice area, but aren't sure we want to live here forever. My wife really likes her current job, so it appears like we are going to stay where we have been for a couple years (2-3). Because of this, I am thinking I may go...

So recently I’ve been going to a local dentist that takes Medicaid to get my fillings and root canals done. During one root canal the sx file separated near the root of my tooth. My dentist said I have to visit a specialist/endodontist so they can remove it or file around it. So we went to the...

Any endodontists care to share what your experiences have been like in the first few years out of residency? Is it difficult to get full-time positions and have busy schedules? What are some starting salary figures one can expect (will finish residency with roughly 400k debt)? Thx.

Has anyone shadowed any dentist in Gainesville? I've been calling and haven't had any luck. Do you guys have any tips. I already volunteer in the Shands dental clinic, but don't know if this is considered shadowing hours.

If I am fortunate enough to be accepted into a dental school, is it possible to take undergraduate courses at that university as well (assuming this school is part of an undergraduate university)? What I'm thinking is that I'm a Spanish major who would like to continue to take classes in the...

I have 2-2.5 years left to complete my Civil Engineering degree, but I hate it and find it passionless. I also do not like the type of work now that I've seen the industry and I realized I am less of a physics/calculations guy anyways. I am at a state university and have a 2.86 GPA at the...

Hi everybody, I was wondering if anybody knows whether at UT Health Houston and UT Health San Antonio do dental students have to schedule their own patients appointments or do the secretaries at the clinic do it for you. I know that at Texas A&M College of Dentistry you don't have to worry...

First off hello everyone, And I hope everything is going great with you guys since you must be terribley preoccupied with dental school activities.I appreciate your time in advance. I was hoping you could give me an insight about WesternU's didactic curriculum and the grading policies e.g. How...

Hi, I'm an international dentist in Australia planning to come to attend an American School for furthering my studies after dental school (GPR or residency). I understand I need to have an ADA approved dental degree in order to be able to practice in USA + getting accepted into residency or GPR...

hey guys. So I took my DAT last year and scored low. Like an 18AA 18TS 16QR 19CHEM/OCHEM. Applying this year was kind of a gamble for me. So as soon as i submitted my AADSAS in june, i immediately starting studying for my DAT retake. I did this so if i wasnt to get in, I would be ready for next...

So december 1st is not close seeing as this is just the beginning of october, but these past couple of weeks I've been having so much anxiety and panic attacks because of it. Having had a couple of interviews by now, it's killing me not knowing whether I'll be accepted to my top choices or where...
