Title: Schools!
Post by: Esperado on March 06, 2009, 07:50:11 AM
So.
For those of you who live locally...
What school do you go to? What schools did you used to go to?
Or if you don't want to say your school, how about the district?

Just curious.
And I want to see how many people here I may know/live near 8D

Damn you LordKefka, not only am I jealous of your figure collection, but now I'm jealous of your degrees. Are you going to be in general dentistry or specialty.

As for me.
Sierra High School class of 01.
San Joaquin delta college for 3 semesters
Heald college: AA in Dental assisting
Some school closer to the bay:Something relating to oral surgery.

I technically have the grades and profs and friends said I should go for it. Problem is I want some free time to myself to play games and watch animu and do things outside of study...-_-;. Plus, an extra 3 years of study really eats away at my loans..and time.. I'm 23 and not getting any younger..~_~;

Besides, if I open my own practice a few years down the line, I get to work 4 days a week while I pursue my other dream in opening an anime store exclusive to only imports. =D

But are you planning to apply to dental school? I think you have a shot if you have experience as a dental assistant and nail the DAT. I got really lucky with mine and scored a 19/19/20.

Well as of right now I'm finishing up on the last of my units for my AA, and then after that I haven't started looking for dental schools yet. All I know is I eventually want to make it to oral surgery. To me it sounds and looks like the most fun out of all the professions. Everything else just kind of sounds like a bore to me at the moment.

Oh I will. I figure it the internship at an oral surgery office was awesome as hell, then being the actual surgeon can be so much more fun.

Yeah that is one of the main reasons why I want to get into oral surgery so much. Cosmetic can be fun sometimes as well. The office I currently work at dabbles in it a little, but then again, the doctor I work for does a little bit of everything.

Post by: LordKefka on March 06, 2009, 09:40:08 PM
I'm more laid back I guess. I shadowed with 2 dentists before, one was a general dentist in Oakland and the other was a cosmetic dentist in Orinda.. yeah.. Orinda, probably one of the only places near Oakland (minus certain Oakland hills locations) with a society of millionaires full of doctors, dentists, top players in companies etc etc. I can just say that the few weeks I was there, it was very eye-opening because the work is very light and you can make your life so flexible. Like for example, I remember my dentist had to do a big case for some hot-shot who worked for DC on thermal nuclear energy conservations or some crap. Came in for 4 hours to get some alignment and that was the whole days worth of work, lol. I think that's one of the reasons I avoided being a doctor and going to med school as well: to avoid massive amounts of blood..@.@

Yeah thanks. Just don't pull a fast one by squirting fake blood at me and causing me to pass out.

Funny story for us future dentists..

I think one of the days that I went in for my job shadow, the first dentist in Oakland was extracting a rotten incisor from like.. a 70 year old women. So I guess the tooth broke off and there a part of the root that was still there. So he was probing the shit out of it while blood was rushing out. I seriously stood there without breathing for a few minutes until I almost passed out. No joke: I stood there and everything became dark in front of me..=_=;

It's a good thing I came to my senses before I hit the floor. Add in the fact I would have to do this in the future, it would be embarrassing for me to faint..>.>;

So now you know why I'm staying away from anything perio or surgery..*cough*...

One of the doctors I work for does that all the time. The other doctor I work for has never even chipped a tooth while doing an extraction, no matter how hard it is. The other has never did one without destroying the entire crown portion.

Yeah it doesn't matter how bad or good the tooth is, she totally destroys it by trying to just muscle it out of the socket.
