@ Originbm, see d list of teaching hospitals and federal medical centres dat advertised 4 residency in dentistry. In some places, it's called dental and maxillofacial surgery. I just picked these few ones cos d hospitals are numerous. But before that, see what d immediate past president of national postgraduate medical college of nigeria, prof. Olaitan Abayomi said about dentistry. See d link: http://nigeriannewsdirect.com/money-should-not-be-the-focus-of-students-moving-into-medical-profession/ The list is as follows: https://www.medicalworldnigeria.com/2016/04/residency-training-programme-at-university-college-hospital-ibadan , http://oauthc.com/Advert/ResidencyTrainigProg.aspx , http://www.informationng.com/2013/02/university-of-nigeria-teaching-hospital-residency-training-programme.html , http://www.coolstuff49ja.com/2013/09/lasuth-is-recruiting-medical-doctors.html?m=1 , https://www.medicalworldnigeria.com/2017/national-hospital-abuja-vacancies-for-junior-resident-doctors

My friend shut up. Not all Nigerians are as poor as dentists. What is 500 000 naira. People do kidney transplant in India and spend millions. Nobody spends money on teeth. Nobody takes teeth seriously enough to spend that much. Philantropists will not cough out that amt of money when serious isdues abound. Teeth is not top priority. Another moronic input. So dentistry takes few students because of inadequate training facilities.Your board stipulates d amount of intake based on economic factors. So with all your noise u only hv equipment to cater for 25. Nonsense. Its a self preservation technique.U guys can take up to 70 at least. Try it and see whether u wont turn to beggars.
So, oral & facial tumors and malignant tumors (cancers), cleft lips & palates and facial trauma dat kill in droves, are mere tooth diseases? U're blind!!! Who told u dat d death rate from oral cancers is less than dat of kidney diseases? And it's a maxillofacial surgeon dat removes it.

[quote author=originbm post=56729610]Optometry has never been a branch of medicine. Optometry is an INDEPENDENT healthcare profession that developed along its own lines. Not every profession has to hug or invoke the name of medicine to get relevance. I dont have to study nedicine to study pathology and pharmacology in details.Optometrists not only study pathology, they study ocular pathology which dentistry will never dream of doing. With all your pathology and pharmacology can u handle the simplest ocular presentation....even simple hyperopia. Can u differentiate between type1and type 2 optic discs? What do u know about ocular biochemistry. Can u understand the simplest ophthalmic prescription. U said optometry is independent, why is it under ophthalmology dept where u're only allowed to glaze glasses. Also, name those large eye hospitals owned by optometrists and d link. Optometrists are quacks in d private setting making pple blind, claiming what they are not.

[b]i cant just stop laughing@originbm, i know u are just trying to whine mandeyy. How on earth will u compare dentistry with optometry. This is like u comparing Optometry with Ophthalmology, or comparing Optometry with Audiologist, or are u trying to compare Optometry with ENT. u quite know that all this specialization are senior to Optometry.

Dentistry is also specialization under medicine as like other specialization. U saying dentist been poor, hahahahaha i laugh in spanish i know u are quite joking, one of my brother is a dentist in Lagos, come to his private clinic, once u go there around 10am, u cant see him again for that day because he will be busy patient with appointment. his lowest dental procedure is #7,000 and there are some procedure with 350k 0r even more than that.

Permonth he record nothing less than #800k. and is more than this at times, but he never record nothing less than that. and yet u said dentist are poor and his clinic is not big.

Some of his medical friends do say it that, if they av the opportunity of going back to study dentistry they will do so. i once ask one of dem dat is dentistry hard in school. they told me dat dentistry in school is like you studying medicine and dentistry together at once. they receive all medical course except obs and gynea, psychia, they study all the medical course along with their dental course.


When i first saw this post my thought was thatyo u want to whynne mandeyy i dont know that u are serious. if assuming u are comparing ophthalmology with dentistry, or ENT with dentistry even audiologist with dentistry i may gree with u, but not optometry with Dentistry. Optometry is a good course on its own but not to the extent of draging dignity with dentistry. Even MBBS cannot argue with Dentistry of which one is better, both are good course.

You mention dentistry is just checking the teeth, ohh am really sorry to say u know nothing about dentistry, audiology deals with the ear, hepatology deals with liver, Also dentistry deals with oral cavity and the facial strucure including the neck region so dentistry is a wide course.

Go to any general hospital or teaching hospital, the most patronize surgeon after gynecologist is dental surgeon. u may go to luth, lasuth or even uniben ur school and see the queue.

Am not siding dentistry nor downgrading opotometry both are good course buh Dentistry is more dan what u think of financially or academically.
dentistist are specialist ooo as ophthalmologist is also specialist.

both optometry and dentistry is good course but stop saying dentistry is nothing than the teeth, if you say this in a medical school, they will look you as an ignorant and they will take you for granted, thanks for Mandeyy that has time to reply you, most dental or medical student wont reply you because they will take you as an ignorant.

If you want to do dentistry, you will have to sit an admissions test called the UKCAT and you will have to have done some work experience and regular volunteering. Dentistry is more competitive.

I did work experience at an optician and I didn't really like the to find the right treatment, prescribe medications, knowing that the patient recovered. I guess you can be an optometrist elsewhere but yeah. I also found the job pretty boring and you perform the same test on your patients. There isn't that individuality whereas in dentistry, I guarantee you will see people with various problems so it may be more challenging and exciting

1.There are private eye clinics that earn 400k a day, even in Benin many earn 200k a day. So 800k a day is chicken feed. Many clinics make it in a week.Before u tell me about wat dentists do , pls go back and look at the arguement. We know what they do, I dont need the lecture. If uvr coming here to tell me that dentistry is lucrative because their consultants earn 800k a month then I dont know wat to say. And again audiology?
Oga dont give me thrash. Many optometry eye clinics employ ophthalmologists for cataract extraction which is what they do mostly in Nigeria. So dont feed me thrash.The biggest eye clinics in Nigeria are owned by optonetrists not ophthalmologists. Ask around. Thelish is owned by a Nigerian optometrist and an Indian ophthalmologist.Are audiologists even known in Nigeria? Dont give me thrash. We are talking abt the Nigerian business environment. Even in Usa the audiology programme ia a bsc and msc programme, so what are u saying. Dr of Audiology just started in 2007 in usa and u r comparing it with optometry. My friend relax. In canada it is still bsc.In Nigeria u dont hear of any audiology clinic.
I hv challenged u guys physically to name one vibrant dental clinic ib Edo state and you cant. I can name 15 vibrant optonetry clinics.
Pls dobt tell me what dentistry does. They derogate peopke's profession so I hv the right to pay in kind. One of them said that optonetry is a 5yr course in Nigeria.
And at least when you want to take sides be honest about it. YOU cant be approbating and reprobating at the same time.

Appearance is everything. I dont care what u think dentistry is . Do you know what optometry is. Make ur arguement without calling medicibe or medical school to dignify ur poor course. The question is whether Dentistry is lucrative in Nigeria... The answer is capital no. Let them replicate the feat in the private sector.Dont tell me thrash. And what is this audiology u are always calling. Are u trying to make a case for ur profession too? Then be bold to do so. Dont hide under another arguement to project urself. Or better still open up a thread for optometry and audiology.
Funny guy, ur brother is a busy dentist in Lagos.Multiply his takings by 20, if he is the richest dentist, it cant compare to the weekly grossing of thelish or unique.Did I say by 20? There are optometry clinics in Nicon Hilton hotels. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. His cheapest proceedure is 7k? Funny...An optician...NOT AN OPTOMETRIST MIND YOU.... makes more than that on a single verilux prescription.
Oga dont tell me what I know , I also hv a dentist distant cousin who is always complaining of low patronage and expensive equipment. Where are the dental clinics to compare with optometry clinic.... I laugh....I THINK YOUR BROTHER HAS BEEN WHINNY YOU, to borrow your language.

Simple, optometry in public care setting in Nigeria is a product of professional politics. It is an abberration. You have your own department yet you guys are wretched, hanging on to govt dole outs. In Nigeria, optometrists work in public health care settings as last resort. U want to see eye care practice, go to a private clinic. Many of them are much more equipped than public hospitals. Has there been any talk on eye care in which an optometrist does not appear alongside an ophthalmologist?
As a matter of fact, that clinical refraction gives more money than any proceedure in dentistry cumulatively. Ophthalmologists live on it. What percentage of eye care practice in Nigeria is surgical? I am not about to argue about eye care with you. Dentistry is not lucrative in Nigeria. Simple truth.

How many IVF clinics do you know? I'm sure you don't know any! So can you now assume that IVF clinics are not profitable because you don't know any?

Because you did extraction for N5000 or so at UBTH doesn't mean it is so everywhere! It is that cheap in UBTH so that students would be able to meet requirements and of course, it is government subsidized! In some private clinics, extraction costs more than 30K!

Some common cases like Root canal treatment cost more than 350K in slightly above average private clinic, and like 500k or above in top notch dental clinics! Yes it is a very common treatment!

Complete or partial dentures is also very common these days! In UBTH, complete is about 30k, while some moderate private clinics charge as much as 200-300K! And top notch clinics that use elastomeric materials and not alginate to take impressions charge far more than that!

Many people wear gold crowns in the North, do you think it comes cheap? Naaa!

Even scaling and polishing that is done freely by students in UBTH also costs much!

In this Benin you have been making noise about, you and I know that in almost every family they have someone abroad! Using USA as an example, dental treatment is so costly and is not covered by their health scheme, so when Nigerians abroad return home, they try to do their dental treatments here and are willing to pay so much, because they would pay higher when they go back abroad!

These are just but a few treatments done in almost every dental clinic! And most of this treatments are done by about just 2 subspecialties in dentistry and there are about 6-7 subspecialties! Bigger dental clinics have more facilities to carry out more expensive treatments that I wouldn't bother mentioning!

Oral awareness is still rising everyday in Nigeria, people are getting more exposed! You see how Nigerian are imbibing American cultures like Halloween, bridal and baby showers e.t.c, that's how they are also imbibing American and European dental culture! I hope you brush before sleeping and floss regularly? If you don't, then sigh, you are still an old fashioned Nigerian!

What will you gain from these arguments? You're talking as if you're in there purse....your hatred and contempt for Dentistry has beclouded your logical reasoning ability.
The optometry you're blabbing about is still far behind in health sector... If optometrists are so relevant there shouldn't be ophthalmologists.
Abeg swerve...Your department is not even recognized;Playing second fiddle to ophthalmologists.
Don't mention any financial issh because you don't live in their pockets.

I hv someone in uniben, a 40 something old man that left 300 level dentistry to enter pharmacy complaining of lack of lucre in dentistry. Go ask of the dentist who works as security personnel in uniben...oga dont tell me what I know. Dentistry is not lucrative in Nigeria.simple

And the entire universe trembles at your level of comprehension. Are you that simple that you couldn't catch the message in that paragraph? My bad.

OK, let me break it down for you - it just means that a dental clinic must not be a gigantic mansion or a popular brand before it can be classified as successful.

I've always known you to be a barefaced liar, and I knew sooner or later, your lies would catch up with you and you'd be exposed. The 40 something year old man(which I know you are lying about his age) left because he failed! He was supposed to repeat but he left. We are few, so we basically know almost everyone in our faculty, so I know the real issue on why he left. Besides it makes no sense to use such an unstable person like hims as a benchmark.

Sometimes I wonder whether you really think before you type. Why should a dentist go and work as a security man? Does it even make any sense? I hope you know that a dentist does not need a masters to become a lecturer? And he starts as lecturer 2 and not as graduate assistant. So why on earth would a dentist become a security man?

Oga you guys are hungry simple. Go to uniben security services and ask this slowpoke. Only a little number of u guys are employed, wat would the rest do. In Benin city, there is no single thriving dental clinics.
They are clinical deserts.You morons that rush to defend ur profession, i ask u:DO U LIVE IN MARS?
You want to decieve younger ones to enter into a profession in which ones u are not salaried in the govt. sector, u r finished. U r uttering arrant nonsense.
The guy I am telling u about is pharmacy. But of course u prefer fiction to truth. DENTISTRY IS A POOR PROFESSION DEPENDING ON GOVT HANDOUTS. QUOTE ME ANYWHERE.
Something as clear as daylight. Finish ur dentistry and get into the labour market, u will soon be disillusioned.

The result is self-evident. When you claim to be educated but cant engage in simple ratiocination. You are giving me the fact that ize-iyamu's wife is a dentist as an evidence that dentistry is lucrative...are you not ashamed of yourself. With the relevance you have you guys still keep chasing optonetrists to open a joint venture so that u can divert their traffic to ur dry clinics. Go and open a dental clinic when you are thru, u will quickly understand life better.
