Probably patient care and having to work with my hands. Try to highlight how much you love the money though.

Armorshell, don't forget to throw in there how you hate teeth, lol...seriously?

Having to look into people's yucky wucky mouths also comes to mind.

You love everything about the practice of dentistry but hate d-school application process. What a money grab. AADSAS stinks. DAT is too easy. Tell them that the admissions people were mean to you at the interview, and are rude on the phone.

I am a strong advocate for the use of rectal exams to diagnose dental problems. I feel that one of the biggest problems with dentistry today is the failure of many dental schools to properly instruct their students on this important diagnosic technique.

How you have to keep telling people that dental school is 4 years long, not the 2 years it takes to become a hygienist, and that you are not a med school reject.

 

[PChemGrad]

This is what I said before

1) The application process.
And everything that goes along with it.

2) I hate being called a med school reject

3) All the decisions I have to make when hiring my staff (i.e. which hygienist and assistant are the hottest )

4) Going into Debt

5) Figuring out how I am going to fit my newest toy in my garage after paying off my debt

6) Getting my patients to pay their bills so i can pay off my debt so I can by my new toys

7) Entering dental school thinking I wanted to be dentist only to find out I really wanted to be a pilot.

8) Afraid that you are going to get sued by a patient.!
