About Me

Hi! I’m Fadila, a newly licensed dentist trying to survive (and make sense of) life post-dental school.

I started this blog because dental school taught me a lot — but not what to do when you're suddenly expected to function like a fully-formed doctor while still Googling how to insert a cannula. Dentistry Unlocked is where I document what really happens after the degree: the blood, the breakdowns, the burnout, the bizarre cases, and the “figure it out as you go” moments.

It’s a front-row seat to the real world of dentistry — the rotations that test you, the moments that humble you, and the rare times things actually go smoothly. Whether I’m assisting in surgeries, pulling teeth, or silently panicking behind my mask, I’m writing about it here — unfiltered, honest, and with a touch of sarcasm.

If you're a dental student, a new doctor, or just nosy (no judgment), welcome. This isn’t a textbook. This is real-life dentistry — unlocked.

Welcome to the chaos.

Should You Really Be a Dentist? Here’s the Truth About the Career

Thinking about becoming a dentist? You’re not alone. It’s a profession that promises solid income, job security, and the chance to make a real impact on people’s lives. But before you commit to years of education and a lifetime of looking into mouths, let’s get real about what this path actually looks like. The Appeal Is Obvious Money : Dentistry can be very lucrative. According to recent stats, the average U.S. dentist earns well into six figures. Stability : People always need dental care, recession or not. Flexibility : Many dentists own their practices or work part-time with good pay, giving them more control over their schedules than many other healthcare professionals. Helping People : You can relieve pain, restore confidence, and genuinely improve lives. Sounds great, right? But here’s what doesn’t always make it into the brochure. The Not-So-Glamorous Side The Cost of Education: It's High, But Not Hopeless Dental school is a major financial investment no matter where you st...

From Clueless to Capable: How Nigeria's Housemanship Broke and Built Me

For four months, I sat at home doing nothing. I had passed the MDCN exam in November, but until the official induction happened, there was no next step. No license, no job, no real direction — just waiting. I tried to stay positive, but it was frustrating. I had just finished dental school, and instead of moving forward, I felt stuck. The four months of waiting should have prepared me. Four months of watching my 'MDCN Pass' notification collect digital dust in my inbox while my life stood still. Four months of watching my non-medical friends start jobs while I refreshed my email, hoping for news about my housemanship placement.  The induction finally came at the end of January, and it felt like a breath of fresh air. I could finally apply for my provisional license. I thought things would pick up from there, but instead, I found myself in another waiting game — this time, for where I’d actually be posted for housemanship. In Nigeria, you don’t get to choose just any hospital....

Do It Scared

 You’re not supposed to feel ready. That feeling? The tight chest, the second-guessing, the voice in your head whispering, “Who do you think you are?”—that’s normal. That’s fear doing its job. But here's the truth: fear doesn’t mean stop. It means  go anyway . Putting yourself out there is uncomfortable. You’ll feel exposed, uncertain, maybe even a little ridiculous. Do it scared. Because waiting to feel “ready” is just fear disguised as logic. Ready never comes. Courage doesn’t show up first—it shows up  after  you’ve acted. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Cliché? Maybe. Still true. If you want something different, you have to take the risk. Even scared. Even uncertain. Even if your hands shake a little while you press “send.”  Because every opportunity you skip because of doubt is a door you closed on yourself. Meanwhile, people with half your talent are out there winning because they  tried . That’s the game. It rewards action, not perfection....
