A biological understanding

In the mid-1800s, Lucy Beaman Hobbs faced rejection after rejection — medical and dental schools simply told her “no” because of her gender.

Instead of giving up, she studied privately, opened her own practice, and quickly earned respect from patients and peers. Her determination finally forced the Ohio College of Dental Surgery to admit her, and in 1866 she became the first woman in America to earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree.

Lucy’s courage reshaped dentistry. By the early 1900s, nearly a thousand women had followed her path. Today, her name remains a symbol of resilience and progress — a reminder that barriers exist only until someone breaks them.

Dentistry isn’t as glamorous as many people think. It’s a career that is both mentally and physically demanding. Some days, I come home completely drained and just want to be alone, with no energy to socialize or talk. It can be a lonely and isolating profession, which is why having a strong support circle and network early on is absolutely crucial.
I’ve learned more in my first year of practice and hospital work than I did in five years of dental school. One of the biggest lessons is that dentistry is less about just fixing teeth and more about managing patients ,something dental school doesn’t fully prepare you for. Discussing treatment costs can be uncomfortable, but it’s an essential skill you must develop, even though it’s rarely taught during training.
Dental school often focuses on perfect procedures on extracted or plastic teeth, but in reality, no tooth is ever that ideal. Being adaptable and practical is key.
If you want to pursue dentistry, be ready for the challenges ahead, and build your support system early. The experience will shape you in ways you can’t foresee. All the best !!!

Just as one size doesn’t fit all, neither does a single technique or set of instruments. With learning and work experience, it’s essential to continually upgrade our skills and adapt our tools to meet evolving needs

Thank you, Usman for sending the exceptional set of mucogingival surgical instruments. They’re a valuable addition to my surgical toolkit, and I appreciate the precision and quality.
