The Truth About Being a Non-Traditional Dental Student (No One Talks About This)

If you're thinking about going to dental school as a non-traditional student, this is the video I wish I had before I started.

Everyone says “it’s never too late” to pursue dentistry—and while that’s true, there are real challenges that come with taking the non-traditional path. In this video, I break down the honest downsides of being a non-traditional dental student, from financial pressure and being out of the academic mindset, to feeling behind your classmates and navigating a completely different stage of life.

As someone currently in orthodontics residency and who didn’t take the traditional route to dental school, I share my personal experience and the realities that most pre-dental students don’t hear about.

If you’re a career changer, took gap years, or are considering going back to school for dentistry, this video will help you understand what to expect—and decide if this path is right for you.

If you're new to the channel, my name is Eli and I am a dentist who graduated from Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, and a PGY-1 Orthodontics Resident at Indiana University School of Dentistry. I attended the University of Maryland, College Park for undergrad, and I did a post-bacc program at George Mason and Georgetown Universities, called G Squared.

On my channel I vlog my dental school journey as well as make videos for pre-dental students who want advice on getting into dental school. I didn't have the easiest journey to dental school, and a unique story, as I was interested in medical school for 2 years after graduating before switching to dental. Follow along my journey as a dental student and after I graduate, I want the channel to be a way for young Black men and women to see someone that looks like them working in the healthcare field. Also, share the channel with anyone you think may find it interesting! I appreciate all the support and really want to get my Youtube out there.
