LESSON 2: PERSPECTIVE IN DENTISTRY
perspective in dentistry
Perspective
• A particular attitude toward or way of
regarding something; a point of view.
• If you had an interesting perspective, you
will think things differently.
Motivation
• The process that initiates, guides, and
maintains goal-oriented behaviors. It is
what causes you to act, whether it is
getting a glass of water to reduce thirst or
reading a book to gain knowledge.
Many issues may be considered when choosing a
career, including one’s own strengths and
weaknesses, interests and desires and willingness
and financial ability to complete a possibly lengthy
period of training as well as the type of work
involved in a particular career, work environment,
financial rewards and availability and attractiveness
of alternative careers.
Factors reported to have influenced dental
students’ motivation to pursue a career in
dentistry:
• Supported by their parents or follow in the
footsteps of an older sibling
• High social status and income,
• Helping people
• Self-employment opportunities
The choice of career is a critical decision with a
strong influence on one’s future
Tomorrow's dentists — yes that can be YOU — will
be on the cutting edge of technology, using lasers
and computer-assisted diagnostics, making the
practice of dentistry more challenging and
rewarding.
