My parents tell me if I go to dental school, I will find out after I finish that I am not fit to be a dentist. That every dentist needs to learn to make crowns. If you put a crown on anterior teeth that does not look natural your career is finished. They say it takes many years after dental school before you become good at anything and that I am not the type of person who could pick up the right skills. That I would go work for someone and get fired. Or I would try to open my office and go bankrupt. How difficult is it to learn to make crowns or root canals or other advanced procedures that most general dentists do? To what level are you trained to do this in dental school?
I must say that I am also considering medical school. But if I were a M3 medical student it is likely that I would stay away from surgical specialties and lean towards IM or EM just to avoid anatomy and creative work.
