Great video! I also love how dentistry can be very artistic. Using your hands to create art and get creative is so satisfying! :)

Hi can u plzz share where did u got your trainings from in uk ? That would be a great help as it is very hard to chose the right training course.

Love the video!! How long would you say it took for you to become more comfortable with facial aesthetics? So glad youre making videds again!! 🫶💕

🎉

Mam how much does a dentist at your level and experience earn a year in uk now? Please reply. Thanks a lot.

We should collab

Finally. Someone talking about the rigors of dentistry esp nhs dentistry. A video about uda optimization would be nice..

Hi komal, fellow dentist here looking to go on the skin line of it! Please do a video on what worked out and what didn’t! Will be so valuable for us!! Thank you:)

How do you measure blood pressure and do you measure it on right or left arm?

Looking foward to why barefoot 😅

A great video & so well explained!I’m going into DFT next year and I’m so glad I’ll be salaried for my first year 🥲 Would you recommend going into the DCT/ the Hospital Dentistry path if you really were passionate about giving the best patient care regardless of cost & finances? And a video on getting into DCT & speciality training would be amazing 😊

Let's collab

what does comprehensive care mean?

Say what you will about Belgium, but our health insurance system far outperforms our neighbouring countries and even the US. I find it mind boggling how such developed countries such as the UK, US, Netherlands etc. have such broken systems. Our system has its flaws as well, as does any system, but at least any patient gets 70-100% reimbursement for all the conservative treatments, and for most restorative treatments as well.

Most peoples in the US, their insurance is tied to their job so it means they are aswell. Do you think promoting an insurance based model over the NHS could lead the problems that the US currently has? also side note what's your opinion on xylitol? (are there any negatives? ) Also also great video always wondered why dentists would take private and not NHS makes a lot more sense now (government deciding what's best and ignoring experts like always) in the US

The word is that there is a fifteen year wait for an NHS dentist in Cornwall UK. If you are a dentist that loves surfing, cream teas and pasties you will be very welcome.

great content! Do you do any podcasting?

hi, dentist in scotland, 23 years old and a vocational trainee and i'm really struggling to know what to do next because I would love to move back to england but i don't know if I can go into practice in England due to the UDA system being broken (fee per item in scotland). I would rather just do CT if I am moving to england such a broken system! Also quick note on the fee per item system in scotland - it is very undervalued even if better than on the UDA system, £30 for any simple extraction and £15 going to you seems crazy little when it can take either 5 minutes or 50 minutes! there's so much more but yeah being a NHS dentist is really unmotivating and surely kills morale. I think I am going to think about moving to australia more and more

Thank you for explaining. That is truly complicated. I deeply hope that you young dentists change the system, so that those that can’t pay can still get their oral needs met. Many Social Benefits are about £80 a week, so it is impossible to pay for; dentists, doctors, opticians, audiologists, etc. It is cruelty to force people to suffer due to poverty created by the government. Please, please collectively, at a grass roots level, keep working on realistic solutions 🙏🏻

NHS Dentistry is incredibly broken both for the dentists and patients, but I think one thing to point out is that the NHS Dentistry system is very unique, and while that's not necessarily always a good thing, it does have its benefits. I'm from the Republic of Ireland, and while there's some level of free dental care for medical card holders, it's not a lot. 2 free fillings per year, a root canal would only be considered on your front 6 teeth and you can have all the extractions your little heart desires! Otherwise, you're going private, and private dentistry as we all know, is very very expensive. I moved to Northern Ireland, and not long after doing so, a problem tooth started giving me enough problems to finally get it pulled, so I made an emergency appointment with the dentist. The dentist told me they could save my tooth with a root canal, to which I said "no way, I can't afford that", and he looked very confused and said "It's not going to cost you any more than it would to pull the tooth out, and it's a much better option, trust me". I did trust him, and I still have that tooth. I'm going in on Monday to have a crown placed on it. If I hadn't moved here, it would be gone. I know you might see it as being undervalued, and I'm sure you do feel that way, I understand that completely, but please know just how much I personally value you, and that all of the patients you've helped will feel the same way. Words cannot describe how much appreciation and respect I have for my dentist and the entire practice. I love them, truly. They're brilliant people who go above and beyond to get people out of pain, that's the goal. I'm sure your patients feel the same way.

Just wait until the roll out the new Welsh system in England. Ain’t seen nothing yet sadly.

Would you say discourage your kids from applying to dentistry based on your experience and views?

periodontal surgery technically is included on the NHS, you cannot offer private periodontal surgery to an NHS patient, there is even a box on the FP17 that says "surgical periodontal treatment". Obviously no dentist would do that under the NHS.. but you cannot offer it privately, unless if you refer.

Is it easy to shift to private practice?

Hello Komal! Thank you for this informative video! Do you think you could enjoy being a dental hygienist instead? Do you have to sit any exams for it?

looking forward to see your plans! im doing a levels wanting to do dentistry but i know that wont be worth while in the long run so im interested to see what you do since your considering business

Same boat here. Graduated 2016, been doing NHS dentistry since 2018, and I am looking at leaving it in the next couple of years. The money is good but it does not feel like my calling anymore and doesn’t give me the life or freedom that I want. Good luck on your journey

Mam do you earn 60k pound sterlings a year as a dentist in uk now? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.

i don't blame you i hate it as well there is no peace of mind lol i do locum now so only when i feel like i pick shifts and on the side i've branched out to other ventures which gives me more flexibility and not having to see people and their complaints is so much better for me i've figured out lol

I recently switched from deciding to apply to dentistry to medicine instead and I think this video is a sign. I wish you the best for your future!

I ended up doing dentistry at Plymouth and graduated this year !! Your vids inspired me so much , and helped me pass the interview . Eternally grateful 🙏🙏. Hope you figure out what’s best for you and your future
