Hello
I have a new interest in dentistry and my question is about specializing.
Although salary shouldn't be the main factor I do believe that its still important.
I read online that dental specialists like Orthodontists actually make less money than general dentists?
I've seen this trend in several websites and videos and would like to know if this is true.
I just recently realized that dental residencies are NOT paid... and that we have to pay the school tuition to do our residency. Since I would most likely already be in 400K debt, is specializing a bad idea because of this?
I am also interested in other specialties as well, any advice would be great!
