Dentist
Duties and responsibilities:
Dentists' oversight of the clinical team is critical to ensuring
safe and effective oral care. Even seemingly routine procedures such as tooth
extractions, preparing and placing fillings or administering anesthetics carry
potential risks of complications such as infection, temporary or even permanent
nerve damage, prolonged bleeding, hematomas and pain.
Salary:$149,310
Education:
Dentists provide oral health services to adults
and children. Some dentists choose to study a subspecialty, such as
orthodontics. Most dentists obtain an undergraduate degree before completing a
4-year dental program. Postgraduate requirements, such as a residency, may also
be required. All dentists must be licensed by the state in which they practice.
Reflection: I think I would not like to be a dentist because I wouldn’t like to be cleaning others people mouth.
