#10th best job

In 2023, dentistry achieved an impressive ranking on U.S. News & World Report's "Best Jobs" list, rising to No. 10 from its previous position at No. 47 in 2022. This significant jump reflects dentistry's growing appeal as a career. The American Dental Association (ADA) News drew attention to this development, prompting many to ask: what makes dentistry such a rewarding and sought-after profession in today’s world?

One primary reason is job satisfaction. Dentistry combines science, art, and personal interaction, allowing professionals to make a tangible difference in patients' lives. Beyond routine cleanings and check-ups, dentists help alleviate pain, improve oral function, and boost patients' self-esteem. Restoring a person’s smile or relieving them from chronic pain brings a profound sense of purpose and fulfillment, which is often absent in other professions.

Financial stability is another factor that draws many to dentistry. Dentists consistently earn competitive salaries, and the profession has low unemployment rates compared to many other fields. But having good mental health and underestanding how to create a good team dynamic are very important!
