How do you find dentistry as a profession? |
|
I had applied for MBBS back in 1978 and lost admission as I had 1mark less to apply to the criteria.
After joining the course of BDS, it was much of great feeling for me; it was an accomplishment for myself at a professional level.
I have also felt that the field of dentistry is a less expensive treatment to the community.
Patients approach from UK, USA and Canada as well and appreciate that the treatment methods applied are same as available back abroad. |

Basically there is no shortcut to success; it comes with lots of effort. The easiest step to this success is creating a channel to build up relationships with the community. There should be extreme professionalism and the completed task should be perfect. Being sincere is the foundation stone for dentistry. |
