I sort of got that but I don't know why anyone here would care about dentists' salariesI think he/she's rubbing it in. Not hurt at all.
Trying to thin out the competition maybe?I sort of got that but I don't know why anyone here would care about dentists' salaries
Still better than looking at vomitus and poop though, among other things.Yeah but you gotta look at teeth all day
I thought we become doctors because we care about patients....
Why does the money even matter if, no matter what we decide, we still make far more than the average american.What an ass
OP salty cuz nobody likes/respects dentists?

Bingo. Miserable at your job is still miserable whether you get paid a little or a lot. You'll just drive a nicer car to your personal hell. But if you can figure out what you enjoy doing and get somebody to pay you to do it, that's the real success story.Whatever career you may choose, don't choose it because of the paycheck. You will be miserable.
But I'm not even a "doctor". I couldn't get into med school
Every day I wake up, feeling ashamed of myself
If he ever gets invitedI bet you're fun at parties
But I'm not even a "doctor". I couldn't get into med school Everyone knows dentists can't be "real" doctors

I challenge you to create one post that doesn't ooze humblebrag.I went to a top ~5 undergrad
If you want to claim to be a loser you need to be able to spell loser......
Although, you guys are right - I'm kind of a looser ...

I know you're a jealous kid, and most likely upset you won't be starting medschool but I want you to realize a couple things: The reason physicians have respect isn't because of the money they make but because of what they do. Curing one patient's cancer is worth more than an extra $500 to me and to most here. Most people don't go into medicine for the money, so your post is meaningless to most here. Dentistry isn't a bad career but there is no way in hell me or most of my colleagues on this forum would go back and be a dentist instead of what they do now. (BTW not that it would change my decision if I made 100K/yr instead of what I do now, but my specialties averages are easily 100K more than OMFS).
since you're suggesting that dentists aren't respected cause they don't save lives, only a dentist can treat oral cancer.
I would like to see a gynecologist treat oral cancer, it doesn't happen.
These are all different specialties and all should be respected for what they do.

Wait...so you're saying that oncologists/ surgical oncologists can't treat oral cancer? Or is there like a dental oncology specialty?
You're incorrect. Dentists do not treat oral cancer. It's the ENT physicians who resect oral cavity cancers, medical oncologist who give the chemotherapy, and radiation oncologist who give the post-op radiotherapy.
Dental oncology is a focus of dentistry dedicated to treating the dental and oral health care as a result of cancer therapy. This is an area of oral medicine
devoted to improving the well-being and quality of life of people battling cancer.
Whether or not an oncologist can treat oral cancer isn't the point, the point is to respect all fields.
As an oncologist I assure you I'm more informed than your extent of knowledge through reading a website. Dental oncologist may care for the patients in the post-treatment setting or resect very early stage lesions but they do not treat oral cavity cancers in the far majority of cases. This discussion had nothing to do with not respecting dentists but the implied post by the OP that physicians are in it for the money which the poster is dead wrong on.
Treatment of oral cancers is a multidisciplinary approach involving the efforts of surgeons, radiation oncologists, chemotherapy oncologists, dental practitioners, nutritionists, and rehabilitation and restorative specialists, again my point was that saying dentists play no role in saving lives is wrong.
Yes the OP is wrong for what he said, I just wanted to address the comments insulting dental professionals.

If anything, this is actually the most benign and possibly informative troll thread compared to the usual garbage that pops up in preallo. So good job

Never really understood people that felt like they had to go on the internet and tell strangers that they are rich and went to a top 5 undergrad (which isn't really a thing)
