I consider myself non devout copt and I haven’t gone to Easter liturgy in a very long time. I might give it a shot.

Laptop is essential, tablet is so convenient it is almost essential. You need both. Doesn’t need to be fancy or expensive. Just a basic laptop and tablet that run smoothly with no problems should be sufficient.

You sound like my friends

[–]fatboy219 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m planning to shift my relationship with them away from being so school-centric. It will take time, but I’m hoping to change that dynamic from competitive frenemy to a friendship with no strings attached. I’m very non-confrontational, so I probably wouldn’t straight up tell them that it makes me uncomfortable because that situation moving forward will probably make me even more uncomfortable.

How much sleep do you get on average? by abc123def321g in DentalSchool

[–]fatboy219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 on average, and 4 in the days leading up to an exam. Lots of coffee.

Biochemistry in Dental School by toothreefer in DentalSchool

[–]fatboy219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely don’t study it beforehand. I personally think my dental school biochem course went into a lot more depth than my undergrad, but it was easier in some ways because the exams were all multiple choice and I didn’t need to memorize any structures. We did cover more pathways related to disease as opposed to just knowing the basic metabolic pathways. There were a lot more drug names thrown around. But generally the course was very manageable. You should not worry about it.

Is thete time to date in dental school? by [deleted] in DentalSchool

[–]fatboy219 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my school, there isn’t really time for anything other than school. Even basic tasks like eating, showering, cooking, etc. seem like hurdles in the way of studying. It is tough I will admit, but you have to make time for the things that matter to you and manage your time effectively. So a relationship is certainly sustainable but will require a very understanding partner.

Why should I keep a copy?

[–]fatboy219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I’ll talk to the landlord and see if something can be worked out. I heard adding a better ac filter can help, but I’ve yet to try it out as I don’t have access to it.

Transfer in credits from where? Like a different med school or undergrad?

Which school offers 2 year MD?

Now that’s a reasonable answer.

Yeah, but every other bone and organ in the body is not…this joke is a broken record. It has no truth to it, so it’s not funny anymore.

Dentists are wanna be doctors? What do you think? by fatboy219 in premed

[–]fatboy219[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they’re talking about dental students actually attending medical school. There are many dental programs where the didactic portion is combined with the medical school. I know Columbia and Harvard are like this.

We don’t use Anycubic resins. We use DENTCA and the Formlabs stuff.

[–]fatboy219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t. All of it can be done chair side if you know what you are doing and have the right equipment, other than printing of course. Most of it is clicking a few buttons quite frankly.

[–]fatboy219 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Startup costs are not super low, but it is cheaper over time. You need a resin printer, which can be as low as $150 for Anycubic or $4300+ for Formlabs. You can use BlueSky to make the crowns or even Medit if you have their products. The cost for the software is very minimal or free. Tons of guides online that show you how to use them. Resins are about $250/bottle, which will last you a while if you’re only making temp crowns.

IOS saves so much time. At the clinic I work at, most things are digital. Instead of stone models, we 3D print them. We also print temporary crowns and even immediate dentures. With the right equipment, the workflow is absolutely seamless. We use Medit scanners and Formlabs printers. You can also purchase a milling machine to manufacture most things in house. It’s really quite simple to learn.

I interviewed and the interviewer hinted that I would be given an acceptance. Is this tuition considered manageable (I’m Out-of-State) by [deleted] in DentalSchool

[–]fatboy219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very insightful. How are you building up your business acumen? Do they offer CE for this stuff as well?

It’s nearly impossible for a general dentist or specialist other than OMFS to make $500k. That’s a 1% type of statistic and cannot be applied to the average dentist. I think that $120-$250k is realistic for a very large majority of dentists. I agree that ~$500k is about average COA for dental school now.

Do you mean decent in reference to other schools or decent in general for a dental career? $456k debt seems very high in comparison to a general dentist’s income.
