There is no shortage of Dentist here (Not even including orthodontist & other specialties) there are over 20 in a five mile radius..

On intersection there is two in one strip mall & another across the street....

Neither here. I don't know why it's so hard to get in to dental school these days. Too many, too much student loan debt. I wouldn't do it if it now was free and easy to get into.
The young ones are miserable here.
 
They pared back admissions years ago as people had healthier teeth. Some went back to get pharmacology degrees due to the glut.

Yes, start up costs are very high... My nephew & his wife are both dentist & they set up shop in the bay area w/ family loans & being able to purchase an established practice.. His sister that graduated a few years later is now working for someone else but will eventually purchase that practice as well......

They are very fortunate to not be saddled w/ debt after school...

Good profession if you like flexibility and the money's not bad. I'd go nuts counting pills all day every day though.

Yes... His dad was pushing him to Pharm & his girl friend (before wife) dad was pushing him to Dentistry.. He dropped that cute girl but kept her dads advice & left UOP for SF & met his wife..:) All worked out I guess.......
