I used to work at tesco at a small retail store about a year ago, it was my first retail job and worked with some of the most amazing people, honestly loved being there over the summer too believe it or not. Manager was great until he left, and was always there to talk if something was up. So many people left, manager left, new manager came and mental health went downhill - I left on not the best of terms (I emailed my resignation letter effective immediately, no this did not effect getting rehired, as I got a temporary tesco job 5 months later). But sometimes I lowkey miss working there, I worked in bakery too ended up romanticizing it, started milking it when I used to spend like 5 hours in bakery 💀 don’t miss the 5:30/6:00 starts tho

Hi! i’m having a difficult time deciding between applying for Dentistry or Dental Hygiene!!

For context I’m from the UK, and will hold an art degree for my bachelor’s in 2027 and i’ll be 22. I love art and design but I do not enjoy this career, so have decided to move into something healthcare and science related. Radiography/Sonography was also an option but there has seem to be a freeze on NHS jobs for band 5 radiographers. I have been more interested in the Dental field. I also did my highers/gcse’s in human biology and chemistry and have always enjoyed it, so being able to have that combination of science and art was great to hear.

Financial support is not a problem as university is much cheaper here, however because i’ll need to complete a access to medicine course before reapplying, Dentistry will take 6 years + 1 yr DFT to complete, and Dental Hygiene 4 years in total, i’ll be 29 or 26, I also don’t want to stay in the UK forever so better pay is available in other countries. I know people say not to think too much about the salary, but the financial aspect is important to me because I don’t come from a wealthy family and want to be financially independent.

I love both aspects of the dental field, I guess for dental hygiene I was more worried that there was not a lot of room to grow/specialise into other things and there is a financial cap. while for dentistry there is more room to grow.

I’ve always wanted to travel before settling down in life - so dental hygiene seems more realistic, but dentistry would open a lot of possibilities and doors in the field but it’s much longer to complete. Sometimes I feel like i’d be behind in life still studying till in 28/29. I feel like sometimes I overthink it, but the thought of being in school for another 6 years makes me think that i’ll be “trapped” or “stuck” before even being able to work.. But then I think I’ll be 29 anyways might as well be a dentist right?

Hi I am a student looking to get into sonography one day, and I’m very interested in hearing more about what salary you can expect in canada?
Also interested in what you specialise in and how long you have been in the field.

Im thinking of possibly going back to school for three years to become a dental hygienist and was looking for if anyone had any salary transparency for dental hygienists in uk and canada? I’m seeing different answers on google and don’t know how accurate they are! I plan to either move down to london or canada ONE DAY!
