Dentistry can be a grind. The whole work life balance thing is overrated
There are many other professions that pay similarly or more that don’t have the headaches dentistry has. I remember most of my classmates saying they chose dentistry due to the hours and workload MDs have to deal with. But looking at dentistry not sure it is much better. The median pay is obviously much worse. But it seems only a few of us dentists are willing to acknowledge this. Saving face is unfortunately a big thing in our profession.
