Choosing a Job Focus

When deciding which job to pursue after dental school, there are two options to consider. One is to work with someone who focuses on basic dentistry and allows you to fulfill your dental school requirements efficiently. The other option is to work with an experienced professional who specializes in procedures like implants, orthodontics, or root canals. While both options have merits, it is important to understand that as a dentist, you cannot excel in every aspect. Comparing a dentist to a conductor, it is best to find a job that allows you to focus on your strengths while relying on others to excel in their respective areas.
