We propose five key questions and try to answer each question based on empirical data mainly provided by government institution. These five questions involves (1) How much is the average annual income of a dentist? (2) Which career track is better, working as a partner/owner of a clinic or working as an employee of a hospital? (3) What kind of clinic is better, general clinic or specialist clinic? (4) Which business model is better in operating a clinic, serving as a single owner or serving as a partner? (5) Which city is better for opening a dentistry clinic, metropolitan city or country city? The study indicates that dentistry is a good career in terms of annual income and working environment. Clinics accounts for 90% of dentistry revenues; partnership clinic and specialist clinic become major trend. Due to relatively lower competition, the average annual dentistry income in some country cities is significantly higher than that in some metropolitan cities.
