Get into dentistry for the right reasons


IF you are thinking about doing dentistry in Malaysia, read on. As a practising dentist in Malaysia, I urge those who are keen to get into this profession to really think carefully before going down this pathway.

Many people and aspiring dentists I meet assume that being a dentist is an easy, money-making job. Well, it’s true that dentists generally have a better work-life balance than medical doctors but being a dentist simply for the money is not a good idea and I believe many who decide to study this subject for this reason come to regret it.
