Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at insurancejournal):
In other words, the insurance companies assumes a certain risk -- that risk being the amount of dental assistance that you will need....
When it comes to dental insurance versus dental plan, dental insurance is actual insurance.

I have read some other discussions and it seems like many dental assistants hate their jobs. I am considering becoming a dental assistant and would like to know more about it. Do you get benefits? Is the pay decent?
(134) / No (14)
Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at indeed):
Every Dental office is different and work environment....
You get paid half as much with the doctor....you WILL work with and at first ONLY for the DA's.
Good luck
(7) / No Dental assisting sucks.
And appreciate your hard work.

Someone who is currently on the pre-dental track (Biochem major) told me that in addition to her undergrad studying, she also attends a local community college where she takes evening classes few times a week to get her Dental Hygienist certificate. (...

No need to take hygiene courses right now.
Of dental school, after that, you can always take the hygiene exam and work as a hygienist anyways.

I have to get some dental work done and I have no dental insurance. I have heard dental schools in the area will do work for very cheap compared to a full fledged dentist.
Has anyone ever gone this route and do you have places you would refer?

I'm a college student and will be losing eligibility on my parents' dental plan soon. For the time being, I won't have a job that offers dental benefits. So I need to decide what the best/most frugal options are for dental care.
When does it make sense...

As to the dental schools, I have heard that the ones locally do good work and have a sliding scale for fees, so insurance....

Hey guys, im going to be starting dental school at san antonio 2013, i was just wondering if y'all could tell me what to expect...like how hard are each of the 4 years and such..thanks!
Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at studentdoctor):
I was often 10-20% on each test in dental school.
If you didn't do well in undergrad you can still do well in dental school.
Dental schools have 4 years.
That said, even doing "the minimum" requires a lot of work.
A year.

Now that I've been accepted to Dental School, I have a few months before the Summer/Fall terms begin. With gross anatomy coming up first, what is the most important thing I should be focusing/studying in preparation for classes?

It is not just for dental school; but, I think it will have some benefit.

No more dentist. I'm finished with the months of dental work.
Multiple fillings, 4 crowns, 1 root canal, 9 root removals and 2 partials. Take care of your teeth or you'll end up like me or worse.

I really need advice! I am a first year dental student at an expensive private school...I took out approximately 95,000 this year for tuition & living expenses . I am trying to work on my credit so that I will be able to purchase a practice in a few years...
Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at studentdoctor):
No u shouldn't don't....
Dental school is a lot of work and you will be better the time to work while in dental school & I do believe that it affects your financial aid.
To the OP, I would highly recommend not working.
