Dentistry is a great career. We have independence through owning our clinics; it’s not boring, with a variety of procedures and patients; it’s constantly improving with new materials, techniques, and technology; we are constantly being challenged by managing cases and relationships; and we get to help people.
With International Women’s Day coming up, I thought about how being a woman has affected my career in dentistry. Dentistry is a great profession for females … and it’s not.
