As an DDS Oral & Maxillofacial surgeon, is worth it. Is not the most profitable career, and worse...the shifts and day to day work destroy yourself. But working in a panfacial fracture, orthognathics, open a neck in life threatens infection....or tumours is priceless. Is worth all the effort.

I'm not a dental student or prospect, just a guy who visited an oral surgeon recently for an extraction and came looking for a video of the standard procedure. Found your video along the way and was fascinated by it. I'm licensed in a different profession but there's no 'residency' in my field--can't imagine how rough it must be to work regular 30-hour shifts. Kudos to the bright young DDS grads who continue into oral surgery.

I’m watching all of the videos on your channel at 1 am rn. Loving all of them! Thank you

I would love to see the interview! Thanks for the great content, Dr. Meyerson.

Thank you for your insight. My son is applying for dental school and just finished the DAT. He did the DAT Bootcamp. It is amazing how much you guys go through. God bless. Dr. Peiris

Hello , this year I m giving my pg entrance exam to become a oral maxillofacial surgeon . I m from india , is there any chance that I can practice outer country or take my field in bigger aspects ...

Hi, I hope you are doing well. I just had a few questions regarding fellowship opportunities after oral and maxi facial surgery residency. Am I eligible to do more than one fellowship after OMFS residency? If I hold a DDS and PhD, Can I still do fellowship after receiving my OMFS certificate of residency completion? Is a MD required to do fellowship?

The default setting of subtitle is vietnamese，not English, plz correct that

I quitted Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the end of my first year as a resident, it was really rough, if you wanna know more, comment below!

I sure wanna know more.. especially when I've someone who quitted it after 6 months, I was hella curious cuz normally when u join such a hard speciality, u build ur upcoming 5-6 years around it whether it's regarding the financial status, social status, etc. and of course u do lots of researches and ask lots of ppl and after going through all this u quit after 6 months or a year.. I wanna know the reason in a very boring detailed way

I could try to handle all the Bad things done to me, but she really hit on where.i cared the most, My patients and My ethics, so thats why i quitted. What she said was wrong and Univ got the report but told me that she had really Big connections and that they couldnt do anything about that. She only got flagged for that comment (but thats minor). I'm now not an omfs, life has changed a Lot, but i'm alivie, and kinda happier

Can a general practitioner focus on doing alot more light surgery procedures like implants and extractions without specialising in oral surgery? So he gets the good income of doing surgeries without the troubles of all the oral surgery specialisation

Do you pay residency programs or do they pay you? is it like a job or not? I'm confused lmao so like you make no money during this 4 or 6 years but at the same time you need to pay the tuition fee????!

@is-cy3zo

Жыл бұрын

Exactly. For dental specialties here in my country, you have to pay huge amount of tuition fees and not earn during residency. Unlike in medical residency where you'll be actually earning in a hospital, and dont pay anything for tuition

But the average that you showed is for mof as well , in many countries oral surgery is part of mof , where i can get clear info about that because im in my last year of dental school and i wanna continue my career based on oral surgery not maxillo facial one

It's kinda crazy how non-practice owning physicians can earn just as much on avg (maybe a tad less) by just going through med school and doing a not-so competitive residency without the surgeon lifestyle.

@seifshenouda9573

Жыл бұрын

A lot people whether in med or dental might want to go into a surgery type field not just non-surgical. And compared to other surgery fields, OMFS has a pretty good lifestyle especially if you open up your own office. Salary wise tho, I haven't seen another med specialty other than derm and other surgery specialties like plastics and ent that has a similar salary to omfs. Especially if you open up your business where your salary can reach almost 7 figures

@seifshenouda9573

Dont forget that most people doing OMFS do a 4 year dental residency which is basically the minimum amount of years for med and that is just do to family medicine or internal ;)

How to do oral surgery as an immigrant

oral surgery is worth it i had so many more modeling gigs!!!!!!

The lifestyle doesn't sound worth it at all.

IMO 100% not worth it. Dental already sucks enough and we get to make great money when we graduate. My classmates who want to go into OS programs have to constantly kiss ass and stress out while I get to just live my life 😎

🤗🩷💐🦷🦷

Dental is just like pharmacy and optoemry and law, waste of time and the day I get my god dam degree I will rip it up hard and piss on it. It wasted my good years as a young guy and it felt like a depressional journy. Can't wait to rip up my diploma on graduation day
