I failed 3 times, i lost money to reviews that never helped but the major thing is that I've not lost hope

Passing the DAT is when you study hard,if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself help like Mr Thomas

I had interest in working with him but I was discouraged by my friends out of ignorance 😔

I have a cousin who never studied much,we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than studies after writing DAT last month, she passed and I failed😣, I asked her how she did it, just found out she got her help from Mr Thomas ..

Sometimes hard work doesn’t pay you have to back it up with smartness🤓, I think your cousin understood that perfectly

My friend I’m literally doing that as we speak. I’m a dentist now and living with my parents saving money. No shame in it at all

Thanks so much for the comment!! I’ve made a few videos about the personal statement and here is the most recent one! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y59nY7B01ty7noE.htmlsi=bWy4cNjus8gykj1K best of luck!

Haha great question! I kept track of my hours on an excel spreadsheet and then yeah on your application you list however many hours you did with each dentist. It’s an honors system where you put what you put and they expect you to be truthful. But if you have a lot of hours with a doctor they expect you to be able to speak about that doctor and their practice specifically. That way if you put 50 hours with one doc and you come into an interview, you’re not just like “yeah it was good I learned a lot” they need to see you learned in those 50 hours if that makes sense

@@stephenraydentist thanks doc! i really appreciate it from a fellow tennessean!

Thank you so much!! I used DAT Bootcamp and INBDE bootcamp and both were flawless experiences for me!! I would recommend them to anyone!!

Thank you SO VERY MUCH, my friend!!

I mean it’s crazy how much things change in four years

Yeah pretty much!! Later in dental school, we didn’t have nearly as much didactic work to do and therefore less organization of courses etc. But I did still have to organize everything in my life, and I made other videos showing how I did that!

Thanks for the question! 4 years of undergraduate studies to earn a bachelors degree (not strictly required but highly encouraged) and 4 years of dental school to become a DDS or DMD. Additional specialty training can take place after dental school for anywhere from 1-6 extra years depending on the specialty.

Not really! I would just enjoy the summer! Plus you won’t have all the material you will be tested on throughout the year so I honestly just see this as overworking yourself!

Thanks for watching and commenting!! Congrats on making it to year 3! If your dental school experience is like mine was, year 3 marks the beginning of your time in clinic and you will have less didactic coursework. You will still have coursework though so year 3 becomes much more about balancing everything. I would just give you the general advice of stay organized in every aspect of dental school. Organize your clinic supplies, clinic schedule, PowerPoints, coursework schedule, etc. This usually takes a few hours at the beginning of the semester but it’s highly worth it to have something to reference that can keep you on track!

You are welcome! Thank you!!

This is a great question Brad and I hope to really dive into this topic in future videos! I am buying my dad out of his portion of his dental practice. He is essentially becoming a contractor of our business and will continue to do dentistry but will take on an easier role while I will become a partner. Obviously, this is a great gift to me and something I never want to take for granted as much new graduates don’t have the opportunity to buy a practice right out of school. That being said there are plenty of viable options for working after school and dentists are still sought after professionals. I think what I’ll do is commission that advice of some of my friends a few months after everyone has started working and put together a list of options and the pros and cons of those options in a video.

I can’t wait to hear about the business side of it. My son, a D1 has an aunt that has a single dentist practice and owns her own custom built building and she is looking to retire. I am pretty certain she would sell to him and give him some favorable financing, on both the practice and the building. I just think it is too early for him to make any kind of decisions, he is still wanting to explore the various specialties and I’m not sure he wants to move to where her clinic is. But I would love to hear your take on being able to walk into and up and running profitable practice with owner financing on the practice and building. I’m not even sure banks would finance a new dentist with lots of school loans and then $1m for a building and $1m for the practice. Any videos on your insight of buying into a family members clinic, the various buy out structures and may any hurdles that you were able to overcome come. I totally understand stand that while yall are in school and being pushed to your max, four years feels like a life time, but for us parents those 4 years are like a drop in the bucket. Any cool videos on your transition into the real world would be amazing. I was told that as a new dentist production is much slower so commissions are lower. Could you possible interview some of your friends that may have gone corporate and compare and contrast their new experience with yours. So many video ideas. As a father I want to be as well versed as possible so I am able to help my son in any way I can.
