Shadow a dentist: The requirements vary substantially depending on your location. In the us and many other countries you need a strong science background and a college degree so for some that might not be considered easy. You also need good manual dexterity and the ability to deal well with people from many walks of life. Shadow a dentist you respect to get a feel for whether this career choice is good for you.

Commitment, not easy: How committed are you in achieving the degree? How are your grades out of high school? Do you consider eight years of school easy? Do you find courses like biology, chemistry, anatomy, pharmacology, and physics difficult? Are you good with your hands? Are you a people person? These are just a few things you should consider when choosing dentistry as a career. Volunteer at an office to observe, too.
