Salary for Dentists
As a dentist, or odontologist as it is also called, you can expect an average salary of 54 400 kronor per month. There is a certain wage gap between genders in this profession. Men earn an average of 57 300 kronor while women earn 53 400 kronor, which means that women earn approximately 93% of what men do. Compared to last year, the average salary has increased from 52 700 kronor to 54 400 kronor.
Job Responsibilities in the Field
As a dentist, your main tasks involve diagnosing and treating diseases and injuries in teeth and the oral cavity. This can include everything from regular dental check-ups and preventive care to more extensive procedures such as root canals and implants. A significant part of the work also involves patient interaction and providing advice on oral hygiene and preventive measures.
Education and Qualifications
To become a dentist, you need to complete a five-year education in the dental program, which is offered at several universities in Sweden. After graduation, practical service is also required to obtain a license. The education is demanding and covers both theoretical and practical aspects of dentistry.
Job Market and Career Opportunities
According to the Swedish Public Employment Service's forecasts, the job opportunities for dentists are very good. Nationally, the employment prospects are considered high, and demand is expected to increase in the next five years. However, there are recruitment difficulties in some regions, which means that employers sometimes struggle to find qualified candidates despite having vacancies.
Benefits and Working Conditions
As a dentist, you can often expect benefits such as paid further education and sometimes perks like a paid mobile phone or other work tools. These benefits may vary depending on the employer and type of employment. Working in the public sector may also offer other benefits such as longer holidays or better pension conditions.
Considerations for Becoming a Dentist
If you are considering a career as a dentist, it is important to be aware that it is a demanding education and a responsible profession. You need to have a genuine interest in both medicine and people, and be prepared to constantly update your knowledge in the field. Good communication skills and empathy are also important qualities, as much of the work involves interacting with patients in a professional and supportive manner.
