Is Dentistry a good Career option?

I think Dentistry is a great Career option. For me understanding Why I want to choose a Career in Dentistry is phenomenally more important than figuring out How to get into Dentistry. It had been a while since I was researching about a Career in Dentistry, when I came across: https://www.lifepage.in/career/20180315-0001/Science/Medicine - Dentistry/Career-in-Dentistry/english

Career Video on Dentistry

In a video, Dr Sudeep S has talked about various aspects of a Career in Dentistry. Dr Sudeep S started by explaining Dentistry as: "Dentistry is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral cavity, commonly in the dentition but also the oral mucosa, and of adjacent and related structures and tissues, particularly in the maxillofacial (jaw and facial) area." It was an amazing video with great information.

I found the video unique because it talked about Education in terms of things which can be learnt from books, to excel at a Career in Dentistry and not as a list of Qualifications, which one needs to get into Dentistry. Dr Sudeep S touches upon these in the Education section of the Video:

There are a few Challenges in this Career which one needs to be cognizant of.
And, Dr Sudeep S believes that one needs to prepare for following Challenges of a Career in Dentistry:
