A Day in the Life of Rob (Dental School Student)

Being that I haven't uploaded a video in the past 2 months, I decided to do a little update.
In school, I am currently taking Gross Anatomy, Neuroanatomy, Dental Materials II, Restorative Dentistry II, and Periodontology. Gross Anatomy and Restorative dentistry are two classes which require a lot of time.
Being that I am on break, I would definitely like to get a video released sometime soon. I will try to go on BlogTV within the next few days, here is my account:

He has graduated dental school congrats!!!

[@RobsWorld]

Thanks very much!

[@01919]

Your welcome rob :) !!!

[@nws6146]

Rob's World nice

[@beastlyplayz934]

You are an amazing KZbinr rob

[@trinityguiao370]

my gosh dude you taught me how to make a water bomb and now you're a dentist!! whatttt!!

[@RobsWorld]

Yes, I really enjoy the work I've been doing. I still have 3 more years to go and a whole lot more to learn and experience, but I really like it so far :-)

[@butterohalloren2338]

This is my hell revisited. Temple Dental class of 2014... only at Temple would they still teach you to pack amalgam in a canine. Ugh. Worst 4 years of my life. RD2 with Boberick was the worst 6 months of my life.

[@anital4959]

Would you not recommend Temple Dental school?

[@bensmith9820]

when he turns the drill tool my teeth hurt cause i remember my experiences at the dentist

[@RobsWorld]

Well, when you have work done on your tooth it shouldn't hurt at all. If the dentist is going to be drilling into your tooth for an operative procedure (such as a filling), he will most definitely numb your tooth and other areas around it. But the drill rotates very fast so if you're not numb enough it can hurt.

[@roryyeatman999]

Back in the day: Hi guys robs world. Today I am going to show you how to make a origami ninja star Now a days: Hi guys robs world. Today I am going to show you how to put in your own fillings.

[@heyimjuno7293]

Exploring 12 careers in my hs as a freshman and just explored Dental for 2 days and learned so much! How to make an impression, the tooth numbering, the maxillary top mandibule bottom, Letters for baby teeth etc! I’m going to choose Dental and hopefully I get into the program for January 3rd

[@abrahamyousif4289]

If I wanted to specialize in only orthodontistry and only work on braces and molds and etc would I have to take the classes I would have to if I wanted to become a dentist

[@strawberries4317]

Abraham Yousif yes you will have to go to dental school for dentistry takes about 8 yrs and then to be a specialist takes about 2+ yrs additional

[@mambomob1137]

I remember watching this video 2yrs ago when I was prepping for dental school & now I’m back here.

[@3bdul2elah]

class III Amalgam? the only time I saw it was in a child from Yemen and of course I replaced it with composite

[@RobsWorld]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your comment! :-)

[@ZekeSold]

Lol this was vlogging back then😊😊👌✌️

[@RobsWorld]

Yeah, my knuckles are coated with E. coli by the end of the day :-) The rationale is that we do the amalgam first and learn about retention, then move on to composite, which would probably be more esthetic in this case. Yeah, just got home.. see you soon.

[@nitishelango9057]

Rob was ahead of the curve with the elevator thing ,lol.

[@maniesmful]

thanks rob for the time u gave ur viewers from your busy time table...

[@krishnasreeveera6]

sorry for spelling mistake

[@RobsWorld]

@gipsyking007 Yes, I was preparing an amalgam on the distal of a canine :-P You should speak to my brother (a prosthodontist).. he made a similar remark, lol. This was the beginning of our restorative amalgam lab section before we started composite. One of my professors is a firm believer in amalgam and said that you could make it esthetic even on the distal of a canine, and it will last long if done well. Of course, I'd never do that in my office.. but it was nice to practice :-)

[@milesgti]

Amalgam for a class 3 >

[@RobsWorld]

Hah, my professor was very old school and said "You're not going to see it on the DL of the tooth and Amalgam has been used for hundreds of years..." So yeah. But I'd probably go with composite for 6-11 anyway hah. Life's been alright, hopefully will put more videos out soon, thanks!

[@RobsWorld]

The D.M.D. stands for the Latin: Dentariae Medicinae Doctorae.. which translates to Doctor of Dental Medicine.

[@vaniathomas8859]

I love your cat. it's very rare to see a guy with a cat.

[@RobsWorld]

Not if I don't have to :-P But I really don't come across them that often. But I try to avoid directly touching any type of public door knob, handle, etc... and carry around hand sanitizer :-)

[@SF-bx8uu]

This was 8 years ago!!!

[@anuvette]

10 now

[@SF-bx8uu]

Astolfo hahahahaha my godd time passes fast

[@RobsWorld]

Sometimes I don't leave the wedges in. I've found that if the contacts are tight enough, I can pre-wedge to get the mylar strip or band interproximally and then remove the wedge. If the contact is too loose though, then I will leave it in...just depends :-)

[@ivars5730]

I️ have a quick question to be a orthodontist do you just go to dental school or do you have to go to medical school

[@ivars5730]

Taylor Munson thank you

[@user-ys3rp6kw5y]

U

[@RobsWorld]

@CathayGuy Thanks dude.. didn't skate in the longest time before I filmed it, but it was a lot of fun :-) Some things I guess you never totally forget.

[@Alaniwxter]

Hey Im planning on becoming a dentist as well and would love to have your input about what major you think is best for dentistry. Im in my senior year and applications are due this week. :p

[@RobsWorld]

Hey Alan, I'd say Biology/Pre-Health is the major you'd want to go with in college because it will let you take the classes you need (called pre-requisites) to get into dental school. If you didn't major or take some of the classes, e.g. Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Comparative Anatomy, and others offered at universities, you would have to do that before going to dental school usually.

[@ShaughnMc]

Alan, I majored in business management and took one or two science classes every semester until I graduated. While most students major in biology, you can truly major in anything. picked business because most dentists run their own practice. The 8 prerequisites you have to take in the US and Canada are General Chemistry 1&2, General Biology 1&2, Organic Chemistry 1&2, and General Physics 1&2. A few schools also require Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, and Biochemistry. Take at least the first 8 classes, ask your dentist if you can start coming in once a week to shadow, and find a volunteer gig doing something you love. Study hard, log a few hundred hours shadowing and volunteering, get some good letters of recommendation, then apply via AADSAS! AADSAS is the name of the universal application goes to every dental school in the US and Canada. You can create a free account when the cycle is open (June to January) to have a peek at what you are required to fill out. Get linked up with the Pre-Health Advisors the moment you step on your college campus. Make friends that will build you up and support you along the way. Don't get discouraged, everyone runs into roadblocks along the way. You can do it! Ironically, the dentist that taught me what I needed to know was a Dr. Alan. Best of luck to you, Alan, and all the other pre-dental hopefuls out there!!!

[@fannyslapper33]

+Alan Valle There are many successful doctors that have majored in other areas such as Philosophy which is what my Psychiatrist majored in. Being a Bio/Chem major is so popular because the material on the MCAT/DAT covers biology and chemistry very heavily. My advisor told me about a girl who hated Biology and Chemistry so she switched her major to something she liked. She ended up getting into med school because she took out time to study for the MCAT outside of her classes.

[@akiwinny5114]

How about taking bachelor of oral health therapy is that able to gain entry into dental school?

[@soft_threads]

+Rob's World I would probably never go back to a dentist again and after having a jaw joint surgery done and still having a lot of as before and that too after having the surgery done and it has been 5 months past my first surgery still need to a second surgery for the other side and now I'm really very scared of getting the second surgery done what do you suggest I should do

[@RobsWorld]

Yeah, I haven't really skated in years. Never shared it in a video either, but I found my board so decided to have some fun that day :-)

[@insertnamhere568]

you look like Mr robot

[@kennethprado592]

I think he looks like nickatnyte

[@sarainava3409]

[@AHRCEUS]

nice video RobH0629! i liked the part 0:09 where you said a funny face "are you dead?" haha

[@spidersonya]

Lila is so cute

[@AmeenAhmed1105]

Hey Dr. Rob! I don't know if you remember me at all, but we've spoken before, either here or via email, I don't exactly remember. Anyways, I have good news! I finally got accepted to dental school! A few years ago, I've come to you for advice on how to get in, taking additional coursework, retaking the DAT etc. Well after 4 DAT attempts, a Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences, and being forced into another gap year among a slew of other bullshit, I finally got accepted! I wanted to thank you for the advice and helping me get to where I am today. I could not have done it without your guidance.

[@RobsWorld]

Congrats, and well done! Glad that you decided to pursue dentistry and be sure to stay with it. It will definitely be frustrating and overwhelming at times so try to make friends and help each other out. It will be easier as a team effort. Good luck with your journey :-)

[@AmeenAhmed1105]

Thanks a lot man! Godspeed to you as well. I know you must be at least a few years into practicing by now.

[@Amaankhan-td4fd]

awesome tricks:)

[@AmeenAhmed1105]

Rob, I stumbled upon a YT video for the graduation of this year's dental students and yes it was from your University. I did hear your name called and got excited upon hearing it (so yea, I know where you went; I know I sound like a creepy stalker but I won't disclose that info, I promise). But I just wanted to say congrats on your graduation and I know you'll be a great dentist! I recently graduated from college and I hope to be a dentist myself! You have no idea how much you've inspired me!

[@123jay456youknowY]

What school do you go to?

[@butterohalloren2338]

That's Temple Dental

[@marinaholguim196]

Dude you need to make more videos .I watched all of your videos.

[@maryj611]

I'll practice four handed dentistry with u, save u the trip to the titrator, placement of rubber dam and making sure ur dg16 wont get misplace 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

[@Bielocke]

Glad to know u are still alive!!

[@ramcessdiaz3628]

Are you dead

[@RobsWorld]

Thanks man. I kinda exaggerated a bit.. I probably haven't skated in around 8 or 9 years. But still, I guess it's sort of like riding a bike and I'll probably always be able to ollie. I never could quite stick that 360 flip landing though, I'll have to work on it :-)

[@theprogamerog5779]

do you have a girlfriend

[@lgdlr]

Your probably the only dentist that i would like

[@camgarcia7809]

are you died

[@ppmp9937]

Ive been watching you since 10 years old! I didnt know youre a dentist! Wow!

[@maggieseymour4952]

play minecraft or clash of clans

[@DanielHeasley]

Hi Rob, I enjoyed your video. My son, who is 8 years old, loves your origami videos and I saw him watching this one, which was somewhat coincidental. I have been diagnosed with Mercury Poisoning, and my doctor says it's highly likely it came from my amalgam fillings, which at one time I had 10 or 11, and I grind my teeth at night for which I wear a splint. Tomorrow I will have the very last one replaced with resin. There are dentists who specialize in the removal of amalgams...

[@sayhitoashley]

Yesterday I withdrew from organic chemistry 2 because I know I couldn't do well because I lacked understanding of orgo 1. So I'm going to retake orgo 1 and retake orgo 2 and complete its respective lab. And because I withdrew from orgo 2, I have received a W for that course. I really could use all the help and advice I can get. Thanks.

[@RobsWorld]

@shavlan It took some getting used to, definitely. Direct vision is better when you can get it, but other times you really need to use the mirror--so it can be really useful :-)

[@fitztooner]

wake up in the morning feeling Rob.

[@BiteDoctor]

That looks like Philly, and that preclinic looks like Temple. Guess how I know, Class of 07. Its a great program, you will kick ass when your done!

[@gsmeo309]

Why oh why did I watch this days before I'm scheduled to get fillings? My curiosity is overactive at times. 😣

[@shopaholic2632]

Im thinking abut dental school and I think that is it so cool how you brought your camera to lab!!! Loved seeing what goes on there!

[@deanalfonzo]

"People never clean those" why did i get a thought of tony stark in my head as soon as he said that...

[@Armani.Maison]

As a pre dental student, i would love to see more of u talking about dental school!

[@ethansahin2713]

Loving it!

[@VictorPoulin]

Great vid again. Nice to know you a little better. Dentistry is pretty interesting although I don't think I could put my hands in someone else's moth LOL. Hope your recent quizzes went good and by the way, you ripped it up pretty good on the board. I rode freestyle bikes in my day. Pretty sure I still have it in me ;)

[@kkkkkkkkkk955]

i love how you take time to type out and describe everything. Super helpful! Thanks!

[@RobsWorld]

Unfortunately..no. I'm trying to finish up my last year and get my requirements so it's tough to get a break . Thanksgiving is coming up though so I have a few days off for that thankfully! :-D

[@7hkey]

your reports about what you learn in "dental school" are extremely interesting! thx for posting!

[@mikefin]

OMG You're the first person in the world to do the same as me: not pressing "dirty" buttons with a finger. I usually use my knuckle, too, but sometimes if the button is large I might press it with my elbow. Good luck with your choice of career: A lot of hard work, but decent salary. One of my close relatives is a dentist here in Finland. He works four (4) days a week, and he makes USD 200,000 per year (before taxes).

[@iTzGerimaxx]

I am planning to becoming a dentist and this seems like fun!

[@raskinblog]

what are the brand names for the power tools and hand tools?

[@timkirby2795]

day in the life videos are pretty neat, especially when they have to do with dental work!

[@RobsWorld]

@ritz1622 Yeah, my one professor is a huge believer in amalgam and said you could make it work well and not be unaesthetic on the distal of a canine and it would last a long time if done well. I have never did it in clinic, nor would I probably do it in my own office--but it was nice to try it out. Good luck in school as well :-)

[@RobsWorld]

@MutatedGamer It's the Sony TX-1. A great handheld camera, with 720p HD and autofocus. Really nice video and picture capabilities. Have used it for all of my HD videos except my new videos "Transforming Ninja Star" and the Christmas Tree trailer, which I did with my other camera, the Sony alpha 33. The picture and video are great on that one also, just that the autofocus is somewhat loud. But still great cameras in my opinion :-)

[@p3rf3ctfatal1ty]

i love it when you make those funny faces like Are you dead 0:08 and 2:31 to 2:42

[@Nancy-kc2ur]

I'm hope that im a dentist when I grow up!! Or at least a artist... I'm doing really good in school right now.

[@alohomora1000]

nice tutorial. im gonna do class three preparation next week, hope it will be smooth :D

[@sorandom123111]

in almost every video of robs we always learn stuff

[@MSMSM1234]

Thanks man i`m waiting for more video because i`m studying dentistry.

[@nateqwq]

could NOT stop laughing at 0:08! thank you for humor and information

[@lily34587]

I want to be a dentist but its only my 3 year in high school. But you still got it with your skateboard.....

[@RobsWorld]

@KFCchickenKFC She likes mostly wet cat food (Fancy Feast), but I try to mix it with some Purina dry food. Also use a fountain for her drinking water :-)

[@RobsWorld]

@13ladygagafan Yeah, she's awesome. A lot of people say they hate cats and then they meet Leela :-D I may have some more videos of her in the future :-)

[@JPoint24]

YOUR BACK

[@AmeenAhmed1105]

That's kind of a broad question. But given your sitch, being a bio major is a good choice; in fact, I think any science would look great. I don't know what to say about your choice(s) of dental school(s) because I live in Illinois. I graduated from college last May and I recently submitted my application. If you have any specific questions, I could help.

[@KrcDmd]

OMG. I freakin' hated dental school. Glad to see things haven't changed.

[@0892hi]

i have seen cash cab!!!! i used to watch it all the time!!

[@fargo7018]

You my friend are an excellent student.

[@mInEcRaFtIsAwEs0Me]

thank you gary

[@lo-fiFromChicago]

I work for a college of dentistry, ask about how that amalgam is ACTUALLY handled, disposed of, and the knowledge given to the the employees handling it on the dangers of amalgam. I can pretty much guarantee you'll be appalled.

[@RobsWorld]

@poshiaHey thanks man. Last semester of my first year we worked on full metal crown preparations, In RD III we are working on PFM preps. #30 isn't such a bad tooth for me, but yeah the DB can pose some problems (I tend to tilt the manikin head for that :-P). I find that the maxillary teeth are a bit trickier with the mirror, more so with the mesio-lingual line angles. I'm getting more used to using the mirror so It's been going well. Have a 3 unit provisional (#9-11) practical this Friday :-|

[@JONWORLD7]

hey, some one left there explorer........ love that bit!

[@SuperCubbyboy]

robh0629 is the best person ever

[@MORE4SP]

thats what i call restorative dentistry. class 3 cavity preperation

[@dansuyume]

@RobH0629 I found most dentists don't want to "overmedicate" so it will hurt a little pretty much always, unless you ask for more. You won't be able to though, because by that time you can't talk! The best procedure I found, was one dentist said "If it hurts too much, raise your hand." Then you're thinking about "is this crossing the line or not?" but you have recourse in case you feel it's really too much. P.S. You will get more thumbs up from me if there is more screen time for your cat!

[@Zachc450]

great video. love your channel... keep up with the good work dude.

[@drkevin270]

Why are you using amalgam in a anterior tooth?

[@dsadwede]

wow, u are so good in everything....

[@nicolii]

0:06 - Are u dead? *Weird stupidly funny face* XD

[@AmeenAhmed1105]

Coming from a rich family helps... But no, as far as I see, it's damn near impossible to manage both a part-time job AND dental school! Dental school is similar to med school as far as the general work load. Most students acquire loans, and it also helps to have profitable job experience beforehand (as well as helpful parents ;-) ) to help pay for living expenses and transportation. I'm a pre-dental student and I'll have to go through the same thing... hopefully.

[@GamerXian]

I like how he talk dude! The way how he says Class three...it sounds funny!

[@galaxymariopeach]

YES he definetly does!

[@robinhellman790]

Do some more day in the life of rob

[@SushiPizza42]

wow, your gonna make a lot of money in that line of work, good luck =] Oh and i really enjoyed this video, and your pretty good on a skateboard too ^^

[@xoxulciiaxox]

cash cab is one of my fovorite shows

[@poshia]

nice video man. it's cool to see students at other schools. i'm left handed too.....have you started crown preps yet? you'll love trying to reach the distal buccal line angle.

[@brylbekser7619]

Yo rob really nice video its cool to see a little bit inside the dental school also i like origami and i used to skate so it looks like we have something in common! nice 360 flip

[@Doromar80]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA "THAT TRIGGERS A RED LIGHT CHALLAAAAAAAAAAANGEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@kenman456]

nice work gary for filming for rob
