I want to be a dentist so I can reincarnate as an incisor in someone’s mouth upon death, where’s that option?

For some odd reason .... I saw Charley and the Chocolate Factory and I knew I wanted to be an orthodontist.

I love how you guys keep it real. Although it helps if you brainwash yourself into believing whatever the adcoms want to hear (help people, love the idea of dental research, love dentistry without really experiencing dentistry firsthand, etc...), but the problem is un-brainwashing yourself afterwards. Otherwise, you end up forgetting your true goals.

One more reason: I love human anatomy

Honestly these answer choices are all pretty crummy besides the first. What about the hand dexterity required, satisfaction from building a practice, ability to form long lasting relationships with patients? OP unless this was for a joke, it seems you have a shallow understanding for why people would actually want to be a dentist

Pretty obvious from a couple of those answers that this was half joke half serious. But since you criticized my post I will offer a rebuttal.
Hand dexterity...choose "I liked arts and crafts as a kid"
Build lasting pt relationships....choose "i wanna help people"
satisfaction from building an office....choose "show me the money" or "other"

Sorry for not conducting a thorough statistical study, but thanks for calling me shallow. Gosh your such a meanie jerk.

Someone fight me. I get aggressive if I go days without extracting teeth. Plus I need to get this thread locked since my research was, and i quote "crummy and my intelligence is shallow" , aka p value not significant.
