Dentistry or pharmacy in Nigeria? How lucrative and earnings?

Angelfrost:


Honestly, I have never consulted a dentist in my life...!

I almost visited one a decade ago when I had a serious unexplained toothache that was a nightmare... However, Longrich toothpaste came to the rescue, and till today it has never resurfaced!

I might eventually visit one before I depart this world sha!

in private practise a dentist even earn more, orthodontic braces, implant procedures, cosmetic dentistry and surgical care can well run into multimillion in a month to even burst your brain; one patient can pay up to millions in naira, if given any of these specialized care. People are poorly oriented about dentistry in Nigeria, even at that, the poor will seek treatment to alleviate pain, the rich will pay the price to look good and people with maxillofacial injuries will definitely pay to get well ....all these porcelain veneers, gold crowns and diamonds these artist rock cost alot. In government job dentist who are also doctors earn way higher

Judolisco:
A dentist is d same as a medical doctor...

They are awarded d same degree mbbs

Adranidoo:
Yes, a Dentist is a Doctor but a Doctor is not a Dentist.Not true my guy a Dentist is awarded a BDS(Bachelor of Dental Surgery) degree on graduation whereas a Doctor is awarded the MBBS degree.

C2Ok:
I personally believe dentistry pays more due to the fact that they are very few when compared to pharmacists, A good set of braces cost well over 300k, even a simple extraction is costly af
Pharmacy pays extremely well, but is dearly overpopulated sector-wise
As a career option, I’ll advise you to go for Dentistry

Dentist can not be compared with a pharmacist.
Let me give you an incite; the entry level of a Medical doctor (dentist) is conmess 3 which is equivalent to level 12 in conhens, while the entry level of a pharmacist is level 9 in conhens.
Mind you a pharmacist might end up with the job of a salesman by prescribing 2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 2 at night.

SonofGod231:

A pharmacist and A doctor are on same entry level point#I stand to be corrected,yeah.

RealLordZeus:
Pharmacy over dentistry in Nigeria

But in developed countries, it might be vice versa

The last time I visited a Dentist was 3 years ago..

SonofGod231:

Yeah....you're right...What about Nurses pls?!As in Bsc RN

aluko360:
Dental officers earn more in Federal Government hospitals when compared to pharmacists.

Pharmacists, radiographers, medical laboratory scientist and physiotherapist earn the same pay in federal hospitals.

Dental officers are doctors so they earn the same with their colleagues on the same grade
