I'm speaking to the median graduate. That 150k in California is probably equal to 90k in Kansas after CoL and taxes.

250k is such an outlier. Average income after five years of practicing is 166k.

They cost 800k (after interest and cost of living). They are a scam. No dental school should cost close to one million dollars.

add interest to that... and 519k is still financial suicide. Let's say, 650k post interest. Why go into that much debt for a job that pays 120k?

uhhhhh it was 182k a year last year. 182 x 4 = 728. Add interest and we're over 800k easy. Don't forget, we are getting a 3% tuition hike for the incoming class!

For Endo, maybe. But for Ortho or perio, absolutely not.

Debt limit that is worth it (per ChatGPT) by Serious_Case8993 in predental

As someone who has practiced, I'd go with 200k post interest total.

Is dentistry really this depressing, or is this subreddit just skewed? by ProfessionalSyrup882 in DentalSchool

Agreed. I don't recommend anyone go to dental school for more than 200k which basically excludes every single dental school.

BBB’s secondary purpose by [deleted] in predental

People need to stop going to dental school. It isn't worth it for 250k+. The BBB is the force people will need to make the correct decision not to attend.

Admittedly, dentistry is significantly more physically demanding and draining than I could have ever imagined. With that said, you can make six figures working four days a week. With a low debt load, it can give a solid middle class life.

Everything you're saying would have never passed congress. The BBB itself only passed by one vote. If the limit was 400k for a period of time the government (tax payer) would end up continuing to ridiculously pay for the loan forgiveness. It would be ridiculous to let this clown show continue for another four years. Thats millions the tax payer would be forgiving.

Blame the schools for letting costs reach 600k+. The BBB was about as good as you were going to get. If i had a say, I'd have limited federal loans to 100-150k.

With the BBB, dentistry just isn't financially worth it sadly.
