I went to a black orthodontist in Philly. He was a friend of the fam and the office was all black. Very professional and good dude. Get compliments to this day about the kids smile

Funny thing, my aunt is an RN and she only has one child. She's going to school to be a dentist. I never hear black people go into that field. It seems pretty cool and make legit money in that profession.

Expensive to be one and the schooling is very long. If you have the passion go for it but if you fail you really don't have much to fall back on.
The same reason there aren't that many Black doctors, or hard-science PhDs, its difficult to get into the school, you have to keep up your grades in undergrad, take heavy science and math classes, ensure you get shadowing and clinical volunteering hours, do well on the admissions test, and keep up the workload over the next 4- 6 years after undergrad to ensure you get licensed and graduate, while your peers are starting their lives, partying away, and enjoying life.
It pays well, same as medicine, but most don't want to put the effort in.
Alongside this, most Black high schools don't prepare kids properly for the hard science and math classes they'll take when they first get into college.
That's why schools like Xavier of Louisiana are so important.

we got quite a few of them in Atlanta. My dentist is Black and his office is in the white part of town with mostly white clients and a mostly Black staff
Don't what y'all nikkas talking about. I can name 4 other Black dentists or oral surgeons just off the top of my head

You meet a couple, they are usually 5-7% of the graduating class, depending on where you are.
You live in one of the wealthiest cities with Black people in the world, your experience will be different from most, same as being a Black person in DC and having a Black doctor, dentist, and lawyer.

She said she wanna be a dentist really badly, she's in school payin'
