Hey Jason! Great question – becoming a dentist in BitLife is definitely one of the more challenging but satisfying career paths. I did some digging and tested it out myself, so here’s a clear step-by-step breakdown to help you get that white coat and drill in hand!

1. Start with a Smart Character

Success in BitLife often depends on the character’s starting stats, particularly Smarts. Since dentistry is a highly intellectual field, it is crucial to start with a character that has a high Smarts stat. Ideally, your character’s Smarts should be at least 80 or higher to ensure smooth progression through school and acceptance into dental school.

2. Perform Well in School (Primary to High School)

From the moment your character enters school, prioritize education. Academic performance is crucial for getting into a top university and eventually, dental school.

• Select “Study Harder” Every Year: This increases your chances of earning scholarships and being accepted into competitive programs.
• Participate in Extracurricular Activities: Activities such as Debate Club or Science Club can sometimes help boost intelligence and improve your resume.
• Avoid Skipping School: Missing school can lower your grades and Smarts, making it harder to get into a good university.
• Maintain a Good Relationship with Parents: This ensures they will pay for your education if scholarships are not available.

Graduating high school with a high Smarts stat and strong grades will put you in a great position to apply for university.

3. Choose the Right University Major

After graduating high school, it’s time to enroll in university. This is a critical step because your choice of major directly affects your eligibility for dental school.

Best Majors for Dental School:

• Biology
• Chemistry

These two majors are the safest choices, as they align with the prerequisites needed for dental school. Choosing an unrelated major such as business, computer science, or art will result in automatic rejection from dental school.

4. Get Accepted into Dental School

Once you have completed your undergraduate degree, the next step is applying for dental school. This is where many players encounter difficulties, as dental school has strict requirements.

Dental School Requirements:

1. High Smarts (80+ recommended) – A lower Smarts stat significantly decreases the chances of acceptance.
2. Relevant University Major – You must have majored in biology or chemistry.
3. No Criminal Record – Committing crimes may negatively impact your chances.

If you are rejected from dental school:

• Improve your Smarts by reading books and studying harder.
• Ensure you selected a science-based major.
• Consider applying again the following year.

Once accepted, complete your dental school education to qualify for dentist job opportunities.

5. Find and Apply for a Dentist Job

After graduating from dental school, the next step is securing employment as a dentist.

• Open the Jobs section.
• Look for a job listing titled “Dentist.”
• If no dentist jobs are available, age up or refresh job listings until a position appears.
• Apply and successfully pass the interview to start your dental career.

Once hired, you can work your way up the career ladder, earning promotions and increasing your salary over time. Hope this helps!
