Namely considering the primary care type physicians vs dentistry (assume general dentistry)
I am currently a premed who recently has contemplated switching to dentistry.
My priorities are mainly having a good lifestyle in my career, low stress, and some sense of satisfaction. Are these three common to achieve in dentistry, from your experiences?
If I went the medicine route, I would be looking at primary care most likely and wanted to know whether dentistry would suit my planned future priorities than medicine would.
Some concerns about switching to pre-dental I have is whether dentistry is really self-satisfying and is subjectively "better" than suffering through medical school + residency only to end up making the same amount of money as a dentist and potentially regretting my decision.
Any thoughts?
