Do big hands make it more difficult to become a successful dentist?

Okay... I know most people are going to laugh at this question but I am very paranoid and need insight.

I am a tall girl and have big hands!! I have interned with dentists but really nothing more than suctioning and really dont do not know how my hand skills are. I'm pretty artistic and paint designs on my nails a lot, but that is pretty much all I do haha

Is there anything I can do now to practice dental hand skills so that I wouldnt fall behind in dental school?

I already submitted my ADDSAS app (my stats are pretty good-nothing crazy) so it is a little late to not apply tho 😕

Please ignore Tounchie. I'm pretty sure he is a slow moving troll with the recent posts I've seen.

Lots of people with big hands do fine. You will find what works best for you once in a clinic setting.

No you weren't..... Look you've posted 170 post in less than a month and 90% of them have been irrelevant. And telling someone CC credits are basically ridiculous. Whose cut throat? We are all here going through the same process. Stop acting holier then thou k?

lol I'm completely the opposite of you. I feel like with small hands you cannot do much or it's little bit harder. but what do i know? i never performed surgery.

Unless you plan to go into pediatric (even then) it should be fine. It's not often that you need to actually stick your hand inside 😉

are you sure your hands are big enough to the point they would be cumbersome. a lot of men in dentistry have big hands and do just fine.

Your hands may be relatively big for a girl, but compared to guys, it's probably smaller than average (?) We are the ones who should be worried about big clown hands lol. You should be fine 🙂

I don't know the average man hand size hahaa

They are definitely smaller than my boyfriend's hands and his mom is a dentist so that gives me a little reassurance!
