How to SURVIVE your first year of Dental School

[@ib7384]

Anyone else going to Barts??

Can't wait to join the Kings dentistry course, just a bit anxious about A level results. Great touch with this years guaranteed offers for exam resits, its nice to be sure about something after the past year in COVID

Good luck!

Hey! What do you mean by guaranteed offers for resists?

[@piotrbrys8008]

@@alawaalsaena3093 I checked their website recently (this must have been added after the offer holder events because they didn't mention it before), and because of COVID anyone holding an offer (firm or insurance) for Kings med and dental courses is allowed to resit exams in the next application cycle and they will automatically get an offer - so you can skip the UKCAT and interviews and jump straight into an offer. It's amazing imo, because a lot of people got screwed over with online learning due to technical issues (and lets be honest incompetence) and this will be an equalizer of sorts. P.S It's like what Cardiff did earlier in the year

The last 3 weeks to start my 1st class. I am extremely excited and looking forward to all of the experiences. Thanks bunches for an awesome beneficial video. I noted your clues which u shared in the video. Let's see what will future bring.

[@FarisDent]

Amazing to hear! Best of luck 🤩

[@nastrades3119]

im on a gap year and forgotten pretty much everything from a level, is it worth brushing up on any content?

[@FarisDent]

Erm not really - maybe go over basic biology to do with cells / anything human related. However in first year you get taught all the basics again anyway!

[@alishakarim6458]

Loved this video! Hopefully starting at King's in September; feeling a little less apprehensive now. :)

[@FarisDent]

You got this!

[@benjenkins3220]

Have you developed any severe lower back pain? Is it likely that we first years could develop it and what are your tips to prevent this from happening :) ?

[@FarisDent]

Thankfully I haven’t - you will be taught about posture so reallt make sure you don’t hunch over when doing treatment - also later down the line you can invest in loupes that basically magnify the mouth and stop you from leaning so much 👍👍
