This TikToker Shared How Much She Spends On Dental School In Vancouver & It's Wild (VIDEOS)
Thinking about becoming a dentist? 🤔
Dr. Jade.
This TikToker is sharing the pros and cons of attending dental school in Vancouver and some of the expenses that go along with it are wild.
Jade, @dr.jadeli on TikTok, is sharing her "dental school diaries" on the social media platform, and she doesn't hold back when it comes to the reality of being a dental student.
She is currently studying dentistry at The University of British Columbia, which includes a combination of both labs and lectures, according to the university’s website.
@dr.jadeli Therapeutic + stressful at the same time✨ #dentalschool #dentistry #canada #dentalstudent #dentalstudents #dentalstudentlife #dmd #dds #ubc #vancouver #vancouverbc #ubcvancouver #predent #premed #predentalstudent #college #university #collegelife #universitylife #student #stem #stemtok #stemlife #dentist #rubberdam #canada #predental #premed #predent #student #school #simlab #waxcarving #teethcarving
In just one semester, Jade said that she has spent $70 on a face shield, $40 on name tags, $2,300 on loupes (magnifying glasses), $700 on a light, $50 on clinical shoes, $50 on a practice skull, $100 on Dentoforms (removable teeth), and $100 on scrub caps and clinic socks — on top of her $30,000 tuition.
She also spent $2,500 on an iPad Pro and $1,000 on a new iPhone. That was just because she broke her phone though, which is a gutting feeling we all know too well, but is unrelated to school!

@dr.jadeli Replying to @obs4y0m0m but ofc occupational hazards can be prevented by education, infection control protocols, vaccinations etc. #dentalstudent #dentalschool #dentistry #dentistrylife #dentistrystudent #dentistryschool #minivlog #studytok #stemtok #stemlife #dentistryworld #vlog #vlogs #dayinmylife #dayinthelife #ubc #ubcvancouver #ubctok #vancouverbc #vancouver #canada #britishcolumbia #student #studentlife #studygram #vlogtiktok #stemmajor #spendthedaywithme #whatidoinaday #exams #finalsszn #finalseason #finalsweek #finals #schoollife #school #gradschool #gradstudent #gradschoollife #gradstudentlife #qanda #questionsigetasked
"While dentists do make a lot of money, dental school is hella expensive," she added.

As for some of the pros of becoming a dentist, Jade lists income, high job satisfaction, a close-knit working environment, creativity, flexibility and comfy scrubs as some of the positives.
@dr.jadeli Replying to @obs4y0m0m pros of dental school: become a dentist lol, small class sizes, hands on work, ~8:1 student to teacher ratios for clinic work #dentalstudent #dentalschool #dentistry #dentistrylife #dentistrystudent #dentistryschool #minivlog #studytok #stemtok #stemlife #dentistryworld #vlog #vlogs #dayinmylife #dayinthelife #ubc #ubcvancouver #ubctok #vancouverbc #vancouver #canada #britishcolumbia #student #studentlife #studygram #vlogtiktok #stemmajor #spendthedaywithme #whatidoinaday #exams #finalsszn #finalseason #finalsweek #finals #schoollife #school #gradschool #gradstudent #gradschoollife #gradstudentlife #qanda #whydentistry #questionsigetasked
