A member asked:
Is it possible to be a dentist if i have short fingers (i'm like 5'4) and broke my wrist twice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Dentists come in all sizes and flavors. Manual dexterity is a good thing to have, but there are some areas of dentistry that require less dexterity than others. There is lots of room in the field of dentistry for anyone who can make it through dental school.
