I finally passed my DAT exam after all the stress.I thank God for the great opportunity and my tutor Thomas 🎊🎊🎉🎉 All my prayers to those struggling to pass through DAT cause it hasn't been easy.I hope y'all make it some day too Amen🙏
I failed 3 times, i lost money to reviews that never helped but the major thing is that I've not lost hope
Passing the DAT is when you study hard,if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself help like Mr Thomas
I had interest in working with him but I was discouraged by my friends out of ignorance 😔
I have a cousin who never studied much,we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than studies after writing DAT last month, she passed and I failed😣, I asked her how she did it, just found out she got her help from Mr Thomas ..
Sometimes hard work doesn’t pay you have to back it up with smartness🤓, I think your cousin understood that perfectly

Hi , I am a foreign trained dentist, 31 yrs planning to seek dds . According to you ,is it worth so much debt. And if u can suggest what other next bst career path I can pursue . TIA.
My dental degree cost me about $18k ... Paid the absolute minimum debt repayment and couldn't help but pay it off in 5 or 6 years. Shame it's not still like that ...
Are Canadian students considered international for the 3 schools you got interviews for? Are Canadian students judged harder when it comes to grades? Thanks for your great videos!
You so beautiful you're my fine
I'm vegan too, so that's cool!
The banks need s hool info standard data base specs you need fax machine to send documents
love you and thank you for this!!💞💞💞
I’m so glad that we don’t have tuition fees here in Germany, Europe 😊😅
Hi your teeth are so beautiful what products do you use
So this is why they charge such a high same day cancelation fee. Because they're p***** off that they're gonna lose more money overcharging you to put some glue in your face order attempt at flossing your teeth for you
Let’s talk toothbrushes
Ah yeah look up the list
It would be exciting to wear 500k debt white coat 😂 and hated by patients!
I been using Tom's for years now & I had once had asked a dentist about Tom's and they told me that Wasn't a good toothpaste & I was like what do you kno I'm still going to use Tom's toothpaste
Where did you go??
Locate a sugar daddy, just kidding.
I graduated with a DDS in 1987. One day in year 4 during clinic I over heard 2 Professors talking. Dr. Reese said to Dr. Culpepper that the students did not know what they were getting themselves into…….. That my dear friends should tell you everything you need to know about the Profession of Dentistry…. Rewarding but very very challenging and DIFFICULT.
400k?! What the shit?!
Great info, very candid.
Heck yeah a person will sue for terrible dental work and only 10 % of the cases charged against dentist are won. So for the patient those are terrible odds.
OMG, you are so right! 26 years of practice including Public Health, Community Health, Employee Dentist , solo private practice and even practicing in a Forward Surgical Team for the US Army in Afghanistan. But, I had a freaking Temp Crown come off on the daughter in law of a tribal elder here and it cost me a full time job. But they're keeping me on as a Locum so I'll gladly take their money. I tell our staff that nobody gives a shit about what we do until we don't do it. I'm 59 and retiring in 2 years. You're awesome and please keep it up. Much love and peace from Arctic Alaska.
Can I get contact with you please , I have few questions to ask about university, how did you get pay your tuition, did you get aloan?
🤣🤣☘
The transparency earned my sub! Thank you :)
Theres no way insurance is paying 100% of a crown in Wisconsin and that you get $1600 a crown. Thats impossible., The Colorado description is accurate,. No well run practice asks you to recruit patients. Every time a doctor moves they lose their entire patient and referral base. It's ridiculous to location hop if you want to be asuccessful dentst. I get you're young but so much is not reality here,
How much do you pay a year for student loans? Dentists make an average of $164,000 a year, but what is the take home pay actually like when you are paying student loans? $100? $60k?
I’m an environmental nut and toms of Maine is one of my favorites I’ve tried they’re hand soap and it’s so gentle and the scent was soft rose.
Hi,I'm 4 years late just heard what happened that is lost. I'm you sure you wouldn't have any problems to find your dream guy
So pretty AND smart!
I hate that toothpaste it leaves my mouth feeling not clean
agreed lol
Toms and hello toothpaste are not good both contain 2 or 3 harmful chemicals carrageenan and sulfate which is just as bad flouride and also titanium dioxide
Dr. Wendy, My name is Chayse and I am a senior at a small private University I also play D2 for them. Ever since I was 3 years old and my mother took me to the dentist for the first time I have been interested in teeth, to the point that my Dentist had to keep asking me to step back because I was getting in the road. I was a Bio major my freshman year but because of my university's financial issues they cut the major so starting my sophomore year I had to switch to exercise Science as that is what they told me would be the closest to my current major and still very well accepted into graduate schools. I have a 2.9-3.0 cum gpa and hopefully will be 3.2 or higher after this last semester. I still have to take micro bio and organic chem as I can not fit it in my schedule this semester so after I graduate this May I will have to go back part time. I still need to take my Dat as well probably next spring. My goal is WVU dental school as its the closest to me. My parents support me as they know I truly want to do the work but are worried about me not getting in as I'm not the best standardized test taker as well as struggling in chemistry and high level math. So honestly do you think someone in my shoes has a chance of getting into Dental school or should I start looking into other careers? Thank you.
i work in health care and i totally relate to all these stresses mentioned, esp #5.
Gosh u r so beautiful
Did a patient ever bite your fingers?
i work with kids so yes... daily
I’m a dentist in Chicago. Dr Wendy hit the mark on all her points. I do want to add though, I have changed my mindset around most of these difficult patients….I look at them as a challenge that I will win. I always hope to change their neg views of dentistry to positive ones. I can and does happen sometimes. Keep up good work Dr Wendy
Hey Wendy, Surprised that you like foaming toothpaste. Many say the foaming agents are pretty much useless in terms of the cleaning function... How true is that?
what is the first-year base pay for dentists in Canada?
what did you major in college?
What major did you do? What do you recommend?
Thank you for the amazing video.
Gladly I click this video ❤️ Me I want to be a dmd to fix the teeth of my future patients cause I know the feeling hiding your teeth because you're insecure about it. And I don't want my patients feels that way trust me it's hard , like you want to smile but you can't cause your teeth is needed to fix ....
Can I get into Dental school with 3.0 GPA (both cumulative and science)? my GPA is not as good right now, what can I do beside increasing my GPA? How else can I make m application look standing while applying?
