As a fourth year dental student, I will say root canals can be relatively straight forward, but also have a unbelievably high difficulty ceiling (as almost all things in our field) 💀 good luck though bro! Soak up as much info as you can during this time!

It’s crazy I’ve been watching you since my junior year of high school and I am now a sophomore in pre dental. I love seeing how far you have come.

It is so nice to see a young person like yourself so passionate and excited about your dental school journey. I was a dental assistant prior to going on to hygiene school. Looking at all those instruments, wow, that is a lot that you have stuffed in your locker. I always wanted to go to dental school but never made it there so watching your videos is like my way of seeing what it might have been like. I will continue to watch your content because it is nice to remember how exciting it was for me when I first started out as a hygienist.

Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Jess! I can't wait to work with more hygienists in the future! Always remember that your work is extremely valuable and dentists wouldnt be able to do what they do without a good hygienist to help shoulder the load of a dental practice!

Thanks for all your effort to produce these videos! I'm at the begining of vocational training for dental technician, but already know that I want to continue with dentistry study later on. Your videos give me a nice insight, of what might expect me in the future. Seeing that you are also busy, casting modles and waxing up crowns, like me, but in a different context, different socity, 4000 miles away, is quite a refreshing and intercultural experince for me. Highly appreciating your work! Keep it on ;) Best regards from germany

Fantastic vlog, thanks for taking us along! I'm quite curious, how many clinical sessions do you usually have in a day and how much time you get for admin and sterilization, seems like there's a lot to run through between your patients. Again, great vid, best of luck with the studying :)

Check out this video to see what my week looks like! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fc2aZZOJyteUZ2g.html It is definitely hard to do everything in one day. I swear most of the day my blood pressure is soaring because of how many things are on my mind to see just two patients. There is just SO much to do outside of treating the patient in the chair. It's wild honestly. Thanks for the comment, Johan!

I did a revision today and it did go as planned, the old bc sealer in the root canal was too hard to remove and it almost ended in a via falsa, we decided to call it because the risk of perforation was too high.

Awesome video, so you only do around two appointments per day?

@stephenraydentist Жыл бұрын

Two appointments per day because of how long everything takes! We have to do a lot of checking with professors and having codes swiped, etc. There is so much added on to every appointment that takes time and isnt done out in private practice, but that is dental school!

On a typical day how much studying is there compared to your first two years

@stephenraydentist Жыл бұрын

Not nearly as much! But we do have patches where we have to study a ton and that makes everything virtually impossible because you still have patients and lab work and plenty of other responsibilities so when you add studying to that list it gets crazy quickly

Is moving from UK to USA for dental school a possible and good thing?

@stephenraydentist Жыл бұрын

It is certainly possible if you research it and do it the right way! I will say that tuition for dental school in the United States is exorbitant, so make sure that you will be able to pay for everything if you move here!

@@stephenraydentist yeah that’s right I just wanted to make sure that it’s possible because I heard from some Random people that it is a really hard thing to do Anyway thank you for your KZfaq channel I could say it’s the best and the only reason that I have downloaded the KZfaq app on my phone Dentistry was one of my dreams since I was is primary school and know I am in fourth year of high school ,can’t wait to get into dental school
