When I was In secondary school, most of us in Art department dream of becoming a lawyer and every science student wants to be A medical doctor. Only few talk about mass communication and other courses


I know a friend who rejected dentistry for Agricultural science. She was ignorant and now she feels sad

Many who see dentist feels they only treat teeth. Removes it and that all. But that's not it.



Dentistry is the branch of medicine that is
involved in the study, diagnosis , prevention, and
treatment of diseases , disorders and conditions
of the oral cavity, commonly in the dentition but
also the oral mucosa , and of adjacent and
related structures and tissues, particularly in the
maxillofacial (jaw and facial) area. Although
primarily associated with teeth among the
general public.

Seeing the movie Gray's Anatomy open my mind to a lot about medicine.
For instance a baby who had cleft was brought to the hospital, now a plastic surgeon could perform this operation but it is mainly the work of Dental/maxillofacial surgeon which was assisted by a prediatric surgeon.

When you see an accident victim injured in the head through his face, then, dentist, with other doctors will attend to such victim.

Only few schools offer this in nigeria but it is important to know that they have the same right and all benefit all other people who study general medicine has.
