Not Meant For Dentistry
Sorry, but it doesn't seem like you have much dentistry knowledge. At least not enough to pass this quiz. If you are actually interested in teeth, there's a lot you can learn online and from the answers to this quiz, which include more information. However, if you were never interested in dentistry and teeth to begin with, your results are honest.
A Dental Novice
You have some basic knowledge of dentistry and teeth. Not a lot, since you barely passed this quiz, but enough that you have some understanding of how teeth work. That said, there are still big gaps in your knowledge and a dentist you are not. Should you be interested in learning more, check out the answers to this quiz, which include further information.
A Dental Assitant
Good job! Your dental knowledge is definitely above average and shows either some good ol' intellectual curiosity, a good memory or some interest in dentistry and teeth. You'd probably make a pretty good dentist, and you probably know how to protect your teeth and those of your family, which is a great thing because they are ever so important to our ongoing health. Check out the answers for those questions you didn't get correct plus some more explanations.
Born to Be a Dentist!
Are you a DENTIST or work at a dental clinic? How do you know so much about teeth? In any case, you ACED this quiz!
