dental students
Future cavity fillers
Dental students are people enrolled in a program of study to become dentists.
The term appears in discussions of dental education, clinical training, and the profession's pipeline: Dental students begin working on patients in their second year.
Like medical students, they occupy a transitional status—not yet licensed practitioners but beyond ordinary students.
