Job Spotlight - Dentistry
People who work in dentistry may spend all day looking at people's mouths, but they performs a vital health role for the community. We've all (hopefully) been to the dentist, so you probably already know a little bit about the types of jobs available, but our Job Spotlight will give you more of an insight. Some of the jobs require a degree (or two, or three), but you can work in Dentistry with vocational qualifications as well.
