Greetings future doctors!
My name is Dr. Ben, and I’m here to help answer two big questions.
- Should you become a dentist?
- How can you become a dentist?
I built this blog to teach everything I know about entering the field of dentistry.
My Experience in Dental School and Beyond
The information is based on my experiences going from a simple high school student all the day to a doctor of dental surgery. During the path I’ve even been on dental schools boards of admissions and interviewed many students.
I hope to help you succeed with all the photos and notes I’ve taken through my journey.
You can learn more about me on my about us page.
I didn’t always want to become a dentist. I actually started on the path of a computer programmer. In my own struggle to find my life purpose, I ended up becoming a dentist. Crazy hu?
Dental Preparatory Classes
I know a lot about dentistry. I’ve studied it, researched it, and done it. I hold a dental degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center. I’ve worked as a dentist and also a dental assistant.
In college I took 4 preparatory classes on career exploration and dentistry. I’ve also gathered the very best resources to help you make the big decision.
