>> Well the first thing I would tell them is, you know, one is you must be a good in science
and good grades are obviously, we take that all for granted.
Beyond that, dentistry still is an art, so when I was at the University
of Pittsburgh I took art classes, sculpting, and anything where you had to use your hands
because you will use your hands a lot and it's very important.
I would do due diligence, meeting with different dentists and seeing what type
of careers there are in dentistry.
There's clinical and there are a lot of things we can do outside of the clinical aspect, too.
There's legislative in health fields including dentistry.
But beginning early, finding out as much as you can about it,
but I think it's still very important that you have to have great hands.
