Though dentistry is considered a respected and desirable profession, there are many impediments that a dentist faces before they are recognised and acknowledged in the dental fraternity. One may assume that the undergraduate training of five years will suffice or the "price paid" for the future but that is just the "tip of the iceberg". This article attempts to shed some light on the mind set a young dental graduate, level of interest and confidence developed for private practice.

Abstract


Though dentistry is considered a respected and desirable profession, there are many impediments that a dentist faces before they are recognised and acknowledged in the dental fraternity. One may assume that the undergraduate training of five years will suffice or the "price paid" for the future but that is just the "tip of the iceberg". This article attempts to shed some light on the mind set a young dental graduate, level of interest and confidence developed for private practice.
