Man, these predents are so gullible. Guys I was joking. So far we have done 5 wax up practicals (along with our regular wax up projects ~10) and have started to work with acrylic (matrix, block mold, implant project). Tuesday we are getting trained with our high speed. We then start composite and amalgam.
Serious:
Pick the school you like the BEST that costs the LEAST! Dental school graduate = dentist. With that said however, choose a school that will make you a competant dentist. Who DOES want to graduate from a dental school that will only give you TWO root canals before you graduate? Not me. One reason i liked Temple. Gavin said it best. Because they don't have patients near the dental school they go to an out clinic to work on real patients (just kidding Gavin) but he is getting some serious clinical experiance because of this. Temple has recently started an out clinic program similar to this and it is required to do 40 hours of it or so I have heard. All the senior this year who took the NERB passed 100% on the block carving and crown and bridge. This is excellent.
Choose a school (if you can) that will give you this training. There are very good clinical schools out there. Temple just makes you do 2x the amount.
Supertrooper - BITTER BITTER BITTER BITTER! For being so sarcastic all of the time you sure can't take it. By the way, youre lunch comments and hottub party comments about B. Hahn scored me several lunch passes. Thanks for the free lunch
Others. Making 5-10K a day IS very possible. It takes time to get to this point and some people actually hit it the firt year out of school. A competant proficient quality dentist can do this. Temple helps, but other schools do it too. johntara2004 and I are biased because we like Temple. gavin went to AZ, of course he will talk up his program while we talk up ours. Notice NO ONE from harvard ever comes on here and says stuff like 'we did three implants today for a removable. interesting.
