1. None in particular...just took the courses I needed to graduate. Although I would recommend Biology and chemistry.


2. To get in to dental school...which is beyond college you have classes you need to take (alot of Biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, microbiology, anatomy and physics).


3. Can't give you Mine :) but most dentists make between $120k and $150k Most orhtodontists make at least twice as much.


4. You need social skills more so in this profession than in medical because there are many dentists out there and most patients pick dentists they feel comfortable with.


5.Patients in pain...nervous patients...and of course the procedures themselves


6.Dealing with insurance companies...they tend to be tough to deal with and teaching patients the importance of good oral health


7. 9....I have always wanted to be a dentist...difficult to explain why...i really admired my dentist


8. 40...but most dentists work less


9. 7... Dentist are surgeons and surgery is stressful. I hate having to give children injections..it is as tough on me as it is on them.


10. If you are in high school....ask your dentist if you can shadow him for a day. This will give you an idea of what a dentist goes through each day. It will also give you a better idea if it something you could see yourself doing for a career.
