Thanks guys. I graduated in 2019 and I own my own dental practice. It’s sometimes hard not to fall into the trap of imposter syndrome. Very real experience. Thanks again for your incite and story.

amazing, congrats on your fast growth! probably the #1 way to feel like you're "an imposter" is to accelerate your life, but you just gotta keep pushing like you are :)

It gets so much better!!! Don't sweat it and trust the process. Your work in pre-clinical is not at all representative about how you will be working with actual patients. Those mannequin teeth are way harder than actual teeth :)

Thank you for your videos!!!! I really appreciate watching these videos and hearing other people validate my feelings as a new dentist. :( Dentistry is really hard, and I often question my decisions in entering dentistry. Its nice to see that you have retired from dentistry, and that its possible to live a life outside of dentistry. Nice to know that it gets better. :)

This was extremely helpful, it's exatly how I feel. I think it is worth it to think back, what did you do 1 year ago, the improvement usually speaks for itself. (I'm in my 4th year of dentistry, it takes 5 years here in Hungary)

It doesn’t help that IG and FB are full of pictures of amazing clinical work, practicing with next level technology, and people flaunting high income and lavish lifestyles. Social media can be unhealthy even as a practicing dentist.
