I was just wondering for those who have done this successfully or are thinking about doing it, what are your reasons for switching from dentistry to medicine?
Anyone switch from Dentistry to Medicine?

people here talking about why they decided to switch from medicine to dentistry.

Not sure why you bumped a ten year old thread, but anyway, dentistry -- like medicine -- self-selects. I'm not a dentistry basher, but plenty of people go that route because they don't want to deal with some of the crappier things inherent to medicine. I don't blame them.
Would think that the "majority" of DDS/DMD -> MD people are going to be the ones who decide that they're way more bored with general dentistry than previously thought.

OMFS guys are often have dual degrees. Though I don't think they chose that route because they were bored with dentistry, but rather wanted to do more complex reconstructions.

That's why they go for specialties like Public Health Dentistry, Endodontics, Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology, Oral & Maxillofacial Radiology, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (Oral Surgeon), Orthodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Periodontics, Prosthodontics, and General Dentistry.
Btw being a dentist has it's perks:
-Flexible hours
-No on-calls
-Good salary
-less stress
There was one dentist guy who said "My M.D friends prefer to look a diseased vagina rather than a diseased tooth."
