Why there’s no better time to be a woman in dentistry

I had always known that I wanted to be a healthcare professional as I loved the sciences and interacting with people. I initially thought that I was going to be a surgeon until I was urged to look into dentistry as people believed that I would enjoy being able to use my hands earlier during my training.

It has been a love story since my first week of work dental experience. I applied to dental school in year 13 whilst studying for my A levels and was offered a place at King’s College London.

Fast forward five years and I have now completed by BDS degree and had a very enjoyable experience. I was very surprised at how hard dental school was because not only did you have to be book smart, but you also had to be good clinically. I learnt quickly not to take feedback to heart.
