Nope. You can't get a job as a dentist after you're 30.

its impossible dont do it!
I agree with everything that has been said so far.
There's a small window to be a dentist, and if you don't become a dentist before you're 30, it's gonna be extremely hard to find a job.

Thanks for the input however why are some students in dental school in the 30's and even 40's I heard?
because its america and people change careers all the time... just like why are you on a dental section when you're so in love with the MD program...
I thought the other posts were sarcastic... I don't see why it would be difficult to get a job because of your age. Advertisement - Members don't see this ad
Whoa I walk in here and the fumes of Eau de Sarcasm sent me right out the door again.
It was pretty thick.

why would it matter since u never put ur age on ur resume?
Internet sarcasm is sometimes difficult to detect to begin with. My radar probably needs repair again.
OP: You'll be fine. 31 is not a big deal
If anything you should hope that you don't get a job due to being 31. You'd be in the money after the lawsuit.
I would think a 31 y/o with zero experience would have a slight advantage over a 25 y/o with zero experience to land a job as a dentist.
If you knew nothing else about the dentist/surgeon to perform your procedure, would you choose the baby-faced doc or the one with a couple of gray hairs?

As one who has hired a few dentists over the years I think I can address your question.
NO!!!! In this profession age is not much of a factor. In the past I have hired 2 dentists over 60 because they were skilled at their craft. I presently work with one guy that is over 70, HOWEVER he is the best "denture guy" within 60 miles.
