I've never met a Jewish dentist, except for the Israeli she-dentist who himnotized me.

Seems like sort of a cop-out, settling for dentist instead of going to medical school, and very un-Jewish.

:unsure:  Yes?  I've only gone to Jewish or Italian dentists in my life, I think...
Sooo...  you're some kind of racist?

I'm not racist but I am an anti-Dentite.

My best friend in elementary/middle school's dad was a Jewish dentist.  He has a very busy practice and when he retired sold it for a fuck ton of dough.

Dentists can definitely make the big bucks.

That said, at least in the New York area, there are plenty of Jews who aren't in elite or high-end professions.  And not just in the ultra-Orthodox community.  My Jewish family has a locksmith, shoe salesman, optician, nurse, rental car manager, hardware store manager...

Yeah, if I was my friend I would have asked Dad to mentor me so I could become a dentist and take over the practice when he retired.  Instead, my friend is now doing basically the exact same thing I do for a career. :sleep:

I'd ask him if that was even remotely relevant. :)

Here in Canada at least, dentists can make truly big bucks. Better than family docs. 

Part of it is that, unlike the docs, dentistry up here is still mostly free-market. Docs are always complaining that the provincial public insurer doesn't pay 'em enough. The specialists make big bucks but family docs tend not to.

Another part is that most of the actual work can be done by low-cost hygenicists, with the dentist acting as the boss manager and taking a cut.

:yes:

Most of the time, my dentist doesn't do shit.  I could do her job easily.  All she does is look at the X-rays and review the hygienist's work, and then tap all my teeth with a pick and pretend she's double checking what the hygienist found.

She's hot, though. :)

Does she tell you how much dose you get from the X-rays?

For some reason I have had hot female dentists since ~ 2002 (in Massachusetts and Kentucky both).
