Episode 96- The truth about navy dentistry Tooth Be Told

The costs of dental education continue to grow every year. Without any financial assistance, student loans upon graduation can be well over $300k. The cost of education paired with increasing overhead to operate a dental practice and decreasing insurance reimbursements, many people are beginning to question if becoming a dentist is financially possible.

In this episode, Dr Ackah and Dr Dumpert had the pleasure of talking with Dr Chase Fetters about how he was able to graduate from dental school without any student loans. He did this by participating in the Navy's dental scholarship program. We have an honest discussion of both the positive and negative aspects of military scholarships, what to consider prior to applying for the program, and how this option may help make the dental school financially viable.
