Day In the Life as a D1 at Penn Dental Medicine | Dental Student

KATHLEEN & NICO | THE DENTAL DUO 🦷
Step into my world as a dental student at the prestigious Penn Dental Medicine, an Ivy League institution renowned for excellence in dental education! Follow along as I take you through the rigorous yet rewarding journey of a day in my life as a D1 dental student.
P.S. I realized I mixed up my mesial and distal angles on the pop-up. I decided to edit right after taking my exams so I was mentally fried at that point. Sorry for that!
P.P.S. When the outro cut, I just wanted to say although the dental curriculum is difficult, you get on a routine so it's not nearly as bad as it sounds. Don't let that discourage you from becoming a dentist because in the end taking care of patients and all the benefits of being a dentist will be worth the effort!

Thanks for the vlog!! I was wondering, do you have any advice to high schoolers who are interested in becoming a dentist?

[@thedentalduo]

Of course, thanks for watching! To start, I would definitely focus on your general chemistry and biology classes in high school. I personally didn’t and I had to pay the price and work extra hard to get a foundation on these courses which was tough during undergrad. I would also recommend taking some AP courses junior and senior year such as AP Chem, AP Bio, AP Physics, etc. to have some credits under your belt by the time you graduate highschool. Also, keep your GPA high and try to involve yourself into dentistry in whatever ways possible. I watched KZbin videos, followed dental students and dentist on Instagram as well as followed Instagram accounts like “@dentalshadowers” to receive good resources and insight on how to prepare yourself during undergrad and make sure this is a career I’m actually interested in. Finally, once you start undergrad, which will happen before you know it, reach out again early on and I’ll be more than happy on giving you tips you can use to make yourself the best applicant possible when it comes time to apply down the road in dental school. Getting into dental school is difficult but if you get involved early it’s more than doable. Good luck! -Nico🦷

what is the purpose of waxing ?

[@thedentalduo]

Hey! We wax in dental school as an introduction to learning how to make controlled and precise movements with our hands. In addition, it also teaches us dental anatomy and helps us pay attention to small details.
