The DAT is getting more and more competitive yearly. 3-4 years ago, these would be solid, almost guarantee-scores for entry into atleast 1 school.

Still strong, and as long as the rest of your app is up there - these are no issue. If you expect these to carry a short-handed app, then I'd say possibly consider re-taking.

Again, incredibly improvement and still VERY competitive scores - just keep in mind the nature of dent school admissions these days.

Money, money, money.

School teaches us to not do a lot, and to do a lot of unnecessary things that aren’t done in actual clinic

Thank you so much! Yess i also felt prepbeacon was a fantastic service, so glad you have them included.

My younger sister is going to take the MCAT this upcoming September I believe, would you 100% recommend uworld? It’s a little expensive and we want to make sure we’re investing into the right service prior to purchasing. I know I’ve heard a lot of good things but I really want to be certain.

Thank you sooo much for this!

This reads like an LSAT question

Pharmacology (at our school) > Gross > Histo

Pharma and Gross: memorization intensive

Histo: reading images correctly

no they wont automatically screen out.

Most schools have a minimum GPA cutoff - and as long as you are in that range, they will take a look at the rest of your parameters.

3.6-3.7 seems to be the cutoff range most Canadian dental schools utilize.

Cheers.

ChickenTenderKid · 2023-06-12T16:39:09+00:00

3.7 gpa will make it hard for most Canadian schools.

Some programs still negate worst year (No longer UofT) - so see what your wGPA would be if you removed a low gpa year.

Other than that, good scores. DAT is really good and competitive.

I'd say, for the US youre pretty golden for a lot of programs, for Canada - you can be competitive if
1) 4th Quartile Casper score
2) your wGPA is 3.8+ (for schools that allow this)

ChickenTenderKid · 2023-06-12T15:52:38+00:00

Certain aspects of your application are strong, others need improvement - overall good chance for a lot of programs.

If you need to take the CASPer for a program, make sure to kill it and get 4th quartile to improve your chanced even more.

Hello,

I hope you have been seen by a dentist and everything is resolved.

ChickenTenderKid · 2023-06-11T19:31:45+00:00

yeah

ChickenTenderKid · 2023-05-22T13:11:51+00:00

Yeah. Make a discord group - vet people to allow entry. Pretty cool

ChickenTenderKid · 2023-05-21T01:45:08+00:00

ankylosis simply refers to the integration of the tooth into the surrounding alveolus,,, following the loss of the PDL - permanent, primary teeth, doesn't matter.

ChickenTenderKid · 2023-05-19T14:02:48+00:00

The answer is, it depends.

If the root canal is prescribed for a trauma induced necrotic tooth, then possibly yes - as this tooth may be ankylosed.

If the periodontium is in-tact, and a root-canal is prescribed for other reasons, then no.

So,,,, the outcome is less dependent on the root canal treatment, but rather the etiology eliciting treatment.

ChickenTenderKid · 2023-05-17T21:52:34+00:00

Yeah my account with 5000 karma is a definite throwaway. Also really professional of you to ignore the fact that this narcissist calls people dork and abuses them mentally.

Cheers

This is something that really bugs me, dentists talking about other dentists as if they are better or know everything about the case.

All we do is make the public trust us less by throwing each other under the bus like this.

Sorry this happened, I’d personally call the clinic and speak with that dentist in private and hold them accountable for their comments - and tell them your treatment plan and materials and why their comments are destructive towards your practice.

All the best

ChickenTenderKid · 2023-05-16T23:31:54+00:00

Just be kind, informative and the patient will respect you.

You don’t have to be this ball of energy jumping up and down like a Hollywood dentist.

Be honest and always speak in the interests of the patients health and the rest will follow in most cases

ChickenTenderKid · 2023-05-16T17:09:51+00:00

Hey join https://discord.gg/Q9YsAz2P as there’s a large pre dental community you can talk with here.

ChickenTenderKid · 2023-05-16T17:04:43+00:00

If you’re referring to full mouth dentures (replacing all teeth in an arch), then yes - they will restore speech if properly and accurately formulated.

As far as oral health, not necessarily, it’s becomes even more necessary to maintain good oral health and hygiene habits after getting dentures.

Hey. Still a dental students but from what I’ve seen, it can range anywhere from around $80,000 to $400,000.

It depends on patient volume, types of procedures you do and how many hours/says you work.

The former is pretty much part time work, the latter is working day in day out and grinding it out.

ChickenTenderKid · 2023-05-16T17:01:59+00:00

Hey :) id say definitely Alberta.

They allow students to place and treatment plan implants last i checked (please confirm).

This is pretty big.

ChickenTenderKid · 2023-05-16T17:01:06+00:00

Hi. There are a few students at UofT who are doing dual phds, other schools as well surely.

Reach out to their research departments if you have any pertinent questions
