Thank you Elise, the thread has been updated. Figures are now from 2014.
The salary for a dentist can be quite good, however I would urge you to make sure that it is a career that you’re actually interested in, otherwise you might find that you get bored with your work. You also have to be able to make your patients feel as though they are at ease with you, because many may be nervous, so although the money is good, it’s not the kind of role that you can enter just for this reason.
