Hello my name is Dr Alka,

I qualified as a UK dentist from Kings College Dental School in London with my BDS it was one of the best days of my life.

Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.

Whether you are a young high School Student, a Concerned Parent, a Career Adviser just wanting some information on how to become a dentist

OR You are an A level, Mature or Graduate Student ready to apply to dental school, this site has information for you all.

If you are thinking about a career as a dentist I know exactly what steps you will go through after all I have been through the entire studying and selection process successfully myself.

You need to decide if becoming a dentist is right or you.

Most dentists practicing today made thier decision to become a dentist in late high school or early college.

Its never too soon or too late to begin some serious thinking about your career in dentistry.

 “no one in my Family had ever even been to university, 
never mind become a doctor or dentist …

 it was frustrating trying to work it all out on my own…
 but that only spurred me on more..”

There were lots of steps along the way to becoming a dentist, for example firstly I had to conquer myself and believe I could do it, I had to decide if it was the right career for me. I then had to work out what and where to study, followed by various stages of applications and trying to convince the right panels that I was the right candidate for the much sought after dental school position.

Do as much research NOW to make sure this is the RIGHT DECISION FOR YOU.

Studying to become a dentist can be a long process:

  2 years getting top GCSE results
+2 years getting top A Level results
+5 years in dental school
+1 year vocational training

TOTAL TIME = 10 YEARS

You Need To Plan Early NOW.

To become a UK dentist you will need to be accepted on a BDS course (or sometimes a BChd) at university. The subject you will be studying is Dentistry.

When the time comes you will need to apply to university. The department that deals with dentistry is known as Dental School.

Your application form will include your academic grades and subjects i.e. GCSE’s and A Levels.

You must know what these are early on so you can make the right decisions EVEN BEFORE YOU’VE CHOSEN YOUR GCSE’S OR A LEVELS if possible.

Some univeristes accept A/S levels again you need to now who accepts what and what is expected early on.

Another part of your application asks about areas such as Relevant Work Experience, Extra Ciricular Activites and you are also required to complere a large section giving a Personal Statement about yourself. You will also need a Referee.

Some dental schools require you to sit UKCAT (UK Clinical Apptitude Test) and some don’t.

All of these areas need CAREFUL CONSIDERATION EARLY ON, don’t wait till your ready to apply to dental school and then panic that you have missed some critical area.

Being prepared early on is the key, if you know what will impress the admissions tutors when the time comes you can be miles ahead of the crowd.

But wait…it gets more interesting..

Did you also know that Dentistry is ONE OF THE MOST (IF NOT THE MOST) competitive course to get ACCEPTED ON at university in the UK today?

Dr Alka Why Is It So Competitive? 

The role of a dentist involves much more than just pulling teeth.

You are required to calm nervous patients, design and discuss treatment plans, analyse x rays, conduct surgical procedures such as extracting wisdom teeth, conduct root fillings, fit crowns and dentures.

You are also required to work as part of a close team, amongst many other neccessary skills and attributes.

A dentist has to make decisions based on sound ethical, moral and scientific principles, exercise initiative and personal responsiblity.

As a healthcare professional providing a caring service for the local community you will be working in close contact with many people.

For some the prestige of the becoming a dentist and getting the Dr’s title can be very appealing.

Financially the job can also be very rewarding often carrying a six figure salary and great job prospects and security for life.

It is for these reasons that dentist are both professionaly and higly competent in their role.

As a result of all of the above factors successfuly applying and securing a place at dental school has become very, very competitive.

This has led to a huge increase in applications for dentistry BDS courses in the UK.

Many students meet the Minimum Academic Requirements to get into dental school and so all applications are considered within a competitive environment.

Therfore many dental schools will endeavour to consider OTHER FACTORS IN ADDITION TO EXAM RESULTS!

Usually No Dental School Offers are made without an interview.

Interviews are usually conducted by at least two senior members usually from the clinical and biomedical sciences staff.

The aim of the interview is to assess your personal qualities and to find out whether you have the the potential to become a successful member of the dental profession.

You need to know how to express yourself at the interviews and how to highlight your best qualites in the most effective way.

It would really help if you had an idea of what type of questions to expect and what the interview panels criteria for selection are.

 Dr Alka What are the Benefits Of Becoming A Denitst?

Ok Dr Alka, This Is All Very Interesting..

But How Come Your Willing To Share ALL of This With Me?..

It All Started When My Younger Brother Came Knocking At My Door, 
For Career Advice..

here’s what happend..

Simply because of something which occurred to me when my younger brother came to me for career advice. I guided him through the whole process from what subjects to study, going over application forms with him, to role playing interview techniques that he would face with the panel etc.

Many of his friends got rejected from the dental schools they applied to… but my brother followed the advice I gave him and I am proud to say he got the grades, flew through the interviews and application process. He was accepted by one of the top dental schools in the UK, he is now a qualified dentist working in private practice specialising in cosmetic dentistry.

This experience taught me lots of valuable lessons.. I have since mentored several students and they have achieved similar results and gone on to pursue thier chosen career as Dentists.

and that’s when it hit me..

I then got thinking, I really enjoy helping students with career advice, maybe I could use my experience to help other students or parents by preparing them for a career and mentoring them along their path on how to become a dentist,

I could have done with a mentor, something I wish I had when I was trying to work it all out on my own…….

My method has really helped a lot of students and it can really work for you too..
