<p>why do you think dentists have the highest suicide rate?</p>
<p>They deliver pain each and every day. People hate to see them.</p>
<p>well doesn’t that apply to many other careers as well?</p>
<p>probably because they have to go through so much school</p>
<p>i dont understand why anyone would complain about going to the dentist. the dentist is only going to help you get better, same goes with a doctor</p>
<p>Because it seems like a boring and menial job. Also, I’ve never met anyone who wanted to do dentistry because they liked the subject matter or wanted to help people. It’s always because it’s a fairly easy (compared to other specialties) job and it pays very well.</p>
<p>My two best friends are studying dentistry because they say they like it, and they have small hands, so they’re ergonomically designed to be good dentists. :)</p>
<p>Lots of schooling. Bad breath. Kids bite. And nobody ever asks “Is there a dentist in the house?”</p>
<p>"why do you think dentists have the highest suicide rate? "</p>
<p>Subject to debate. I’ve read the same about anesthesiologist, psychiatrist, etc. </p>
<p>I suspect for dentists and anesthesiologist, it may be access to certain drugs. There are no failed suicides with those drugs. No suicide “attempts”. Those drugs “get 'er done”.</p>
<p>they stare at people’s teeth all day. i’d hate that.</p>
