Opening My $8000 Dental School Supplies | D2 Christmas in July

[@jmey]

love when dental school goes shopping for you on your dime 🙃

[@stephenraydentist]

Isn't it the best!! Especially when I probably won't use most of the stuff I bought! But it's all part of it!

[@alihnaim]

Hey there Stephen I was wondering if you could make a video about your application process and things in regards to a gap year ETC. As someone whos in the application process hearing how it went for you would be super helpful!!!

[@stephenraydentist]

I can definitely cover this topic in a video or maybe a podcast. Unfortunately its been a while since I went through all of that so my memory is not very fresh or up-to-date! But I will do my best to cover it in some way!

[@nicholaswelch6929]

Good luck on D2!

[@stephenraydentist]

Thanks, Nicholas!! I appreciate it my man!

[@joshwilkinson8966]

Holy guacamole man!! Even though that's a 100 lbs of stuff, it sure does look interesting!! I know your super stoked about it just as I am looking forward to it. Quick question relating to the bag of teeth!...so I've been told in the past that we need to collect teeth from different dental clinics to take with us to Memphis. Such as trying to get as many incisors as we can since they are typically hard to come by. Is that what I should be doing oooorrrrr?...will we be covered? hahaha thanks in advance Stephen! 😎

[@stephenraydentist]

Thanks so much for the comment as alway Josh! So the teeth in this video are plastic and theyre used in our typodonts which go into our mannikins for the first two years of school (and some board exam stuff). The natural teeth that we are supposed to collect are for our endodontics course. We have to be able to do root canals on real teeth so that is why we collect them. It's actually pretty difficult to find good teeth that you can collect. It's definitely up to you but usually some folks will collect a ton and you'll be able to make up for what you dont have! So really the best advice is to just collect as many teeth as possible!

[@joshwilkinson8966]

@@stephenraydentist man I appreciate the info. so much!! I will do just that!! It's comforting knowing that your just a message away if I have a question!! Also looking forward to the next surprise video!! 🤘😎

[@tobiawotona9208]

awesome video !!

[@stephenraydentist]

Thank you friend!!

[@mikelstef9326]

Thank uu very much for this video, it helped me a lot, but I have a question, is the school buying this equipment or me 🙂🙃

[@stephenraydentist]

Thanks for the comment! The school choosing everything in this video but we pay for it! So they tell us how much we owe them each semester for all of these materials and that’s how it works!

[@mikelstef9326]

@@stephenraydentist thanks you very much ghe best ❤️❤️❤️

[@nazli__1414]

My favorite dentist is here finally! I wish I could do magic and get accepted to dental school right away. Is there a spell for this?😅 This year is very important to me, high school is about to end. I hope I can give good news next year..😌🌸 I think I need a time machine.😂😂 If you have a time machine, can you send cargo to Turkey? 'Cause I've been waiting for 12 years and now I can't wait🤷🏻‍♀️🤭

[@sewalsevim]

I wish the best for you, good luck to get accepted into dentistry!!

[@nazli__1414]

@@sewalsevim Thank you😊

[@stephenraydentist]

You're doing great!! Just don't wish too much to skip through life!! High school and college are wonderful years of your life to enjoy! You'll have plenty of time in your life to be a dentist! Try and enjoy life right now!

[@osaiuhu5577]

Lol this is why dental school is often times more expensive than medical school 😭

[@stephenraydentist]

One of the reasons for sure!! It really is crazy how much we spend to get into this profession!

[@conveniencestoresushi8722]

Almost all of my dentures which I made got rejected by the department cause there was a hell lot of crazing defect 🙃 ugh. Gotta hate prosthodontics.

[@stephenraydentist]

All we've done since my filming this video is get into the crown preps which has been a process in itself! Dentures are going to be rough I just know it. Thanks for the comment!

[@lucid212]

Hope you knew how to pronounce That SPHYGMOMANOMETER now 😁 Greetings from Egypt

[@stephenraydentist]

I do now!! It was a tough one though at first! 😂😂

[@gizzelyeah]

Can you make a video on your KZbin equipment ? :)

[@stephenraydentist]

Yes I would love to do this! I will add it to my list!

[@sarml5518]

good luck

[@stephenraydentist]

Thank you my friend!!

[@vivsoares3330]

It's absurd that not just you pay a fortune for the dental education in US, but the school doesn't provide you not even the basic stuff. I graduated in dentistry almost 20 years ago, abroad.

[@stephenraydentist]

It is very expensive. Our best hope is to make good money after we get out so that we can live frugally and pay everything back as quickly as possible. It is definitely a tough world out there now for young dentists in this country!

[@theavengersfanatic8433]

👍👍👍

[@stephenraydentist]

Love this energy!!

[@brandywalkenten9085]

I’m a 20 year hygienist. My boss would tell patients that wanted a denture ( when it wasn’t necessary) that “ dentures aren’t a replacement for teeth. They are a replacement for no teeth”. May this do you well in practice.

[@stephenraydentist]

I LOVE this!! This is perfect hahaha thank you for sharing! Will be using this as a slogan!

[@brandywalkenten9085]

@@stephenraydentist do you know if you are doing general DDS? I haven’t watched but 2 videos

[@brandywalkenten9085]

Another one of my favs when sending a referral ( perio , ortho). “ A consult isn’t a commitment”. ( I’m on a roll 😏). It works great
