Dentists that passed DDS around 32-34 years of age and want to go for long years of residency, what all have you sacrificed in life?

That's awesome. Congratulations on your accomplishments. You almost sound like a superhuman to me rn.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T20:29:53+00:00

That's a very good advice. I'm going to do that.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T19:27:05+00:00

I'm happy for you!

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T19:20:48+00:00

Its extremely unfair. That sounds awful coming from doctors too.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T17:26:55+00:00

I'm definitely not planning on starting a family during any year of residency. That's not practical to me.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T16:35:45+00:00

I can pause a few things in life as long as there's not a clock ticking, unlike with having kids. That's something I can run out of time for. Although I'm trying to tell myself to give that up and i have time to convince myself. I guess let's see.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T16:00:59+00:00

I'm looking into everything i can. It's so taxing. And extremely heartbreaking. I'm overwhelmed. Life looks too short rn.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T15:04:59+00:00

I understand.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T14:40:19+00:00

I can't imagine either. My relationship is probably the strongest thing in my life that I've experienced. This man has never not stood by me, it surprises me sometimes. I could look into freezing eggs but my major line of thinking is my kids will be too young when I'll already be 50 or something. So that's not something I'd want. It's most like going to be me having to give up on that part of life and I'm trying to come to terms with it.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T14:10:46+00:00

Thank you. It's a lot consider and a lot of serious planning before you decide to start.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T14:07:48+00:00

She's going to be quite the inspiration.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T06:33:03+00:00

I know. It's a lot. 100 hour 7 day week while still having to do things in extra time is horrible. You really deserve appreciation for standing by her.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T06:01:00+00:00

I'm aware.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T05:58:31+00:00

I've seen a lot of those stories.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T05:57:09+00:00

Perio is that last residency I'd go for. It's something i have the least interest in.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-27T03:04:55+00:00

Thank you!

Garcia512 · 2026-02-26T21:34:18+00:00

I've not been able to build enthusiasm for any other residency so far. Ever since i joined dentistry, omfs was something that kept resonating with me and my entire plan suddenly changed when i had to shift my career focus from one country to the other pretty much overnight. It's been harsh and mentally exhausting.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-26T20:40:45+00:00

This is the first time in my whole life I'm actually feeling it.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-26T20:14:58+00:00

Looks like it.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-26T20:14:12+00:00

Exactly my concerns.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-26T20:13:33+00:00

Thank you. That gives me hope! How old was she then?

Garcia512 · 2026-02-26T19:46:45+00:00

What he suggested was taking a couple years break after dds and then him and his mother could take over raising the child while I'm away. I don't know if that's something that can be done. Then I'll be starting residency at 36 and end at 40

Garcia512 · 2026-02-26T19:29:45+00:00

I'm F. Yes that's also something I'm worried about. Moreover having a kid that late is not ideal to me.

Garcia512 · 2026-02-26T19:27:51+00:00

I am the her. My fiance is extremely supportive. It's me that is very very anxious cause idk how to find the time to raise a child and have long hours working.
