How many of y'all have dentist for parents or in the extended family and what percentage of your dental school class have dentists in the family?

Me = none.

My class = 25%? Pretty rough guess; I know it's a significant percentage but less than majority.

me, no. like 20% i think in my class.

There is no one in my family and in my class i think hardly 20%.

Probably around the same for us. Maybe slightly more than 25%. Blazing the trail for myself, though.

No one in my family in dentistry. I would estimate about 20% of my dental classmates had family in dentistry. I also did orthodontics and I would say 50% of the residents' dads were orthodontists. I barely knew what a NiTi wire was, so I think it is definitely an advantage to have a parent or family member in the field.
