Denturist says;

Prosthodontists or Prosthetist (denturist)

makushin, I'm not trying to talk you out of being a dentist. You guys that work your butts off to get through dental school and are dedicated to the patient know there's too many being dentist that don't belong there. Not to say they belong being denturist.

I'm sure you know of someone that something happens in their life and they can't financially make dental school or at some point they don't want to be a dentist. The denturist profession is just an option to think about.

It may be for your brother or sister makuskin. This isn't about taking away from your profession. It's about giving an opportunity to work in a good profession serving people with a service that involves delivery of a dental prosthesis.

It's along the same career as a prosthetist one that provides an arm, leg or ear. Some of us just prefer to work with dentures but no difference in the need to work directly with the patient. We can offer a better prosthesis.

Thanks for being here makuskin---gary

So Denturist, if your not spamming what benefit do you get out of recruiting more denturists. It seems to me that you would only be incorporating more competition into your field, unless of course, you get some kind of kickback for recruiting those students. Which is also known as SPAM.
Thanks for being here denturist---Ebull
 
I am thankful for the defensiveness of the predents and I'm glad I'm in the right gang. If I'm ever going to get into a fight, I'm going to make sure I post it on here first so all my predent bro's will back me up.
 
Meet the needs of those in need. Pretty simple stuff. We need more denturist out here to serve those that are economically disadvantaged.

I would like to teach someday in a denturist college but we'll see what the good Lord has in store for me.

Thanks Ebull, I appreciate you being here.
 
My apologies, but we are pre-dents and dental students here for the most part and this looks a lot like an advertisement. Closing.
