Hello, guys
Since I kept writing dentist over and over, I used the word "medical practitioner" on one of the supplementary essays
would this be a problem?

LOL

Would it be a problem if I said I was a...never mind.

You are not a medical practitioner if you're a dentist. Medical practitioner is an MD/DO. You can say dental practitioner. That's just weird though.
 
Yes it would be a problem since a medical practitioner is not the same as a dentist (more so a term for MD or DO). Therefore, I would not use that as a replacement for the word dentist on your essay.
 
If you notice that you're using the same word over and over and over again... it might be a good idea to revise and try to not be redundant in your supplemental.
