Just any profession could be 'Lucrative',depending on what you make out of it...
Moreover,what is Lucrative to someone,could be Paltry to another...
So try and figure it out yourself.

You are very wrong! Pharmacy is more lucrative!

How many Nigerians see dentists? just a few! But everyone takes drugs. Simple logic.

I have many wealthy pharmacists around me, but the dental clinic in my area is always on ghost mode.

That is not to say every pharmacist, doctor, dentist must be RICH. It depends on individual in most cases. However, pharmacy will sure afford you more OPPORTUNITIES.

So, op go for pharmacy.

first, Dentistry is a branch of medicine.

I'm Speaking On a federal government salary scale, Dentists earn way higher than Pharmacists. even During housemanship.

General dentists make, on average, around 120-180k/month; that's the same average as many primary care specialties in medicine. Dentists work for less hours and still get paid the same as their colleagues. main reason I switched from medicine to dental surgery.

I have Uncles that Are dentists. My Aunt is a maxilofacial Surgeon. she studied Dentistry. I Am also Studying the Course.


Nigeria as a whole has less Dentists, So work Opportunities are Numerous and Not Competitive, Hence It's a sort -after Profession.

Re: How Lucrative Is Dentistry As A Profession? by Nobody: 1:40pm On Apr 05, 2017
Make I no talk sha....


But unless you get employed in a Government Owned Hospital or you have enough "connections" to secure a position in a high class private hospital; Dentists don't usually get job offers.












My uncle graduated from Dentistry and the kind suffer wey he suffer before he finally got employed at UCH no be for here embarassed

I am aware that medical doctors and dentists earn cohess 12 for a start while pharmacists earn conhess10, but my dear, that amount dentists earn in a month, a pharmacist can make that in a day. Pharmacists who work with multinational pharm. companies also make more cash!

just so you know, Removing a tooth is over 20K

flossing is over 30K
Bracers are 150K upwards... just saying. smiley
dentists could make that and more. plus, they're general physicians too.
