In your opinion, are dentists generally rich?

[Anonymous]

Obviously what constitutes being rich is subjective. But based on what you know about dentists and based on what you define as rich, do you think dentists are generally rich?

Yes, dentists are generally rich

No, dentists are not poor, but they are not generally rich.

Profit should never be the motive to practice medicine. ㅤ

No, I am in my 50s. I am not considering becoming a dentist.

I mean probably. Aren't medical fields in general and law fields the type of jobs that everyone strives for and immigrants from other countries coming into America have parents that force them to get into a medical or law field? I've always thought they were the ideal jobs for many people.

Location matters. If he's working in an area with a dozen other dental clinics, good luck getting rich

I think they make a good living but are not rich. The money is in opening and overseeing multiple offices in a high-end specialty such as periodontics, not in seeing rank and file dental patients one at a time.

I imagine they tend to be wealthy. I think they at the very least get around 6 figures

What is your definition of rich? Most have to continue working.

Some are. Some aren't.
