Dentists are sometimes seen as poor relations of doctors. After all, isn't their job to be a doctor, but only to one specific part of the body? Worse than that, a part of the body that very few people other than their own partner would wish to go near? That might be true in some respects, but even if it is, dentists are having the last laugh, and they're showing us their shiny white teeth while they're doing it.
Becoming a dentist is far from easy. An undergraduate degree is required, as well as certification, passing of the Dental Acceptance Test, and an official license. That's a lot of red tape to get through, and once dentists have cleared it, they should be well on their way to a six-figure income. We imagine that's the thought they cling to as they're getting their eighth face-full of halitosis for the day.
