donbenie: In other countries like the US you apply to the school of dentistry after finishing your bachelors degree. You can't get a medical degree as first degree over here. You have to finish your bachelors first then apply to your regular college of medicine or school of dentistry (or whatever yiu want to study). http://www.koolsmilesjobs.com/content/how-long-does-it-take-to-become-a-dentist 1 Like |

Silvereze: Pls my dear. Don't go for a course because people want u to or how lucrative it is. U need to pray and obtain God's direction. Medicine or dentistry is not something u say should I do or not. There must be a deep conviction from God, if not u may not go far as a doctor or dentist 3 Likes |

DokitaDave: Ur brain needs resetting. Tell me what's wrong with my comments. Are dentist Medical doctors a big no. A medical doctor studied medicine and surgery and has MBBS. Are dentists as respected as medical doctors, hell no. You and I know that what I say is the truth. At least I'm talking from a neutral point of view Dokitadave who is probably a dentist. |

Dentistry all the way *both are medical doctors *dentistry more demanding and tasking in medical school *same salary scale in Nigeria Dentist paid higher in most developed countries of the world *both treated and respected the same way *dentists have more potential to earn more money than those that studied medicine *Both are under the same umbrella medical and dental council of Nigeria and NMA with the same identity card generated by the same association *Same method of renewing and getting practising license Any of them can be head of the hospital as CMD Both can go on to specialize and earn same salary and allowance The choice is yours.

Medicine is d zenith of the medical profession pls. I can't allow my child so dentistry. I love pharmacy alot too , those guys are smart and intelligent. But dentistry is a no no plss. If you want to become proud and proficient become a medical doctor (MBBS or MD). In my next world I must be a medical doctor. It's a promise. Imagine calling urself a Cardiologist, Gastroenterologist, Neurologist, it gives me the goose bumps wen I hear such. But what d hell is orthodontists, paediatric dentistry, public health dentist, maxillofacial surgeon. These are bull crap men! Sgt Ponzi Hater |
Re: Is Dentistry Better Than Medicine by Omonoba1: 8:53am On Apr 08, 2017 |
@Op,, It's a matter of choice. Both have their advantages and disadvantages..you will probably know better when you're in either of them. Just do your research! |

Omonoba1: So if one did not study medicine , dentistry or any of all the shitty paramedical courses then he couldn't aachieve anything in life? no wonder doctors are committing suicide and dentist are disillusioned. Doctors collect #500/hour and u feel it's a thing of pride, while private practice for dentists are so limited they pray for government jobs or earn 70k per month and have to wear ties and a white coat on it. In my next world I would love to be a doctor but not in Nigeria because I have no regard for medical practice in Nigeria. |

donbenie:how can an optometrist be a medical doctor .. dats just wrong.. A dentist can be called a medical Doctor because a because a reasonable amount of years has been spent in medical to acquire knowledge on medicine and a little bit about surgery but an optometrist knowns only what he knows ...so yes dentists are doctors but not so for an optometrist 3 Likes |

stupid question.it is the attitude that you brings to a profession that makes u a failure or a success at it.even professional robbers with good attitude do well. |

Re: Is Dentistry Better Than Medicine by Nobody: 9:42am On Apr 08, 2017 |
datfreshdoc: A dentist is not a medical doctor in any Clime in the world. To qualify as a medical doctor you must do medicine, surgery, paediatric and gynaecology then pass professional exams in these. Anything short of these you can't regard urself as a medical doctor. Dentists are brothers to medical doctors yet they are not. At best they are called dental surgeons. U can simply Google who a medical doctor is. pls let's pass the right info always. |
Re: Is Dentistry Better Than Medicine by Nobody: 9:52am On Apr 08, 2017 |
The emotional satisfaction of being a physical is second to none. The respect of saving a life that would have been lost or saving a ruptured ectopic by rushing to theatre that is medicine. Dentist will never have that satisfaction. I have relatives in both field and I know how gallantly the doctor moves and how high sounding he could be and the respect he garners. However physicians remain middle class most of their life as there's really not much money made. |
