Periodontist

Periodontist

Duties and responsibilities: All states require dentists to be licensed. In order to earn a dental license, you must pass written and practical exams. While the practical exam is typically state-administered, the written component may be fulfilled by passing the National Board Dental Examinations. You may also need to pass additional exams in the specialty to practice as a periodontist.

Additionally, you could choose to become certified by the American Board of Periodontology. To qualify for board certification, you must earn a dental degree, complete a periodontics education program and pass the board exams (www.abperio.org). Board certification must be renewed every six years.

Salary: the majority of periodontists earn between $101, 181 - $245, 538 a year

Education: Becoming a periodontist starts along the same path as becoming a dentist. You need to complete dental school followed by a residency in periodontics. Admission to dental school usually entails passage of the Dental Admissions Test and at least two years of prior college study, but it's common for students to earn bachelor's degrees before gaining admission. You might earn your degree in an area of science, which may prepare you for the extensive science coursework required in dental school; however, a degree in any major is usually acceptable as long as you meet science prerequisites.

Dental school takes four years to complete and includes classroom and laboratory instruction. You'll take mostly general and clinical science courses in the first two years, including anatomy, pathology, and patient care procedures. In the final years, you will gain practical, supervised experience in clinical settings. You'll help diagnose and treat patients while discovering various specialties, like periodontics and pediatric dentistry. Upon graduating, you'll earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine.

After earning a dental degree, you'll continue your studies in a residency program, which allows you to gain more practical experience in the field of periodontics. You'll learn to deal with difficult patients and explore the techniques and procedures specific to this area of dentistry. Residency programs are usually offered through universities, hospitals, and other medical facilities.

“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.”

Japanese proverb

I think this quote is trying to say is that if you see what you really want you might not be able to accomplish your goals. Yawl got to think and dream about what you want. If you say what you want ND not dream about it ND believe in yourself it’s a nightmare. If you want something you got to go for it. for example: if you have a vision of something there’s a possibility your vision will come true not at that moment but like later on in the future. You just got to be ready when that day comes and never give up on your dreams.
