Anyone here a dentist? Anyone have information on becoming a dentist for a frum person? Anyone have information on a frum (young) woman becoming a dentist?
All helpful replies greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I was about to reply, but I see you only want helpful replies.
There are 2 frum lady dentists in Lakewood. There are a lot of frum male dentists everywhere.
There are a number of frum dentists in the Bronx. It is a fine career for a frum Jew.
Two of my friends are becoming frum female dentists. They happen to be a little more more modern (but very tzanua) though I don’t see why it would be an un-yeshivish thing to do.
“I don’t see why it would be an un-yeshivish thing to do.”
umm, you can imagine a yeshivishe mother dentist servicing frum male patients??
don’t kid yourself.
so right: What do you think yeshivishe physical and occupational therapists have to do? That’s right, they have to treat men, and yet this is seen as a fine profession. So do doctors and dentists (dentistry actually requires less touching than all the other ones I mentioned.)
And how is it better for a male dentist to be treating female patients?
so right – What would be the difference between a female dentist seeing a male patient and a female doctor seeing a male patient? In fact, I don’t think that I can EVER remember being alone in a room with my dentist – there is always an assistant present – and I have been alone with my doctor most of the time.
If you work well with kids, you can specialize in pediatric dentistry. Based on my own experiences and what I hear from other moms, I believe there’s a need for more dentists who handle kids well.
Is it safe?
(sorry, I couldn’t resist ?)
You are a female who wants good pay with flexible hours. At the fact that you thought about dental school, seems to indicate good attention to detail and s-t-e-a-d-y hands.
Why don’t you look into Ultrasound Technician? It’s great pay and depending on your area of expertise, you will only work with female patients. Healthcare operations are always looking for good technicians.
