Hey peeps, I'm just wondering how and what is the life of being a dentist. Anyone here a dentist student or even a dentist? I'm just asking about career prospective as a Dentist.

Hi. I'm a gov dental officer. from what I can see, opportunities in this field is getting very saturated in both gov and private sectors. many private practices are facing their toughest times right now, many with very poor patient flow as little as 4-5 patient a day. even in the larger towns some are on the brink of closure.

as for the gov dental services, training centers are getting so limited. fresh grads have to share chairs (usually up to 8 officers per chair), this limiting opportunities to build up their skill after uni life.

rumors had it that there are plans as to hire future local officers by contract. and even so, you'll be put in a waiting list first.

the future for future gov officers in malaysia is bleak as we're facing an acute influx of officers from dodgy universities.

i thought indian Uni's are not accredited here in Malaysia?
