Hi Prananjay. I have a question for you. I'm 40 years old and I have been pondering with idea of moving abroad and study masters. After doing my research, I found out that Germany would be an option worth exploring. Since it provides you 18 months of post-study work visa. My only hesitation is that I'm getting a private university which I'm not entirely comfortable with. Is it okay to go ahead with a private university? Second, I will be far more experienced than the students in my batch. Is it okay? Third, I'm willing to learn the German language and spend a little money to get a degree with best ROI and possible career in Germany. What do you think are the prospects for an applicant like me?

Ans: Pursuing a master’s degree in Germany at 40 is a bold and promising step, especially given the country's reputation for high-quality education, even in private institutions, and the 18-month post-study work visa that allows ample time to secure a job. While public universities in Germany are often preferred due to their lower costs and established reputations, many private universities also offer excellent programs, industry connections, and tailored support, making them a viable option if they are accredited and align with your career goals. Being more experienced than your peers can be a strength, as your professional background can offer valuable insights in classroom discussions and group projects, and can also set you apart in the job market. Learning German will significantly enhance your employability, as language skills are highly valued by German employers. Overall, your prospects are good, provided you choose a well-regarded private institution and leverage your experience and new skills to integrate into the local job market effectively.

Dr. Shyam, I had my teeth cleaned 6 months ago and after that was done I saw discoloration on certain teeth that wasn't there before. Years ago I had my teeth cleaned and one particular tooth after the cleaning was sensitive to touch. I had a crown put in from two different dental offices. The first one did the crown right, but was trying to charge me $3,500 more than the agreement they made with Medicare. Medicare corrected that. I other dentist did a crown and it didn't go all the way up to my gums and is sensitive to especially cold things. I'm not having very good experiences with dentist by and large. Can't find an honest one or one that can actually do the job right. I feel being on Medicare your a target to bring in money. Not sure what to do next. Supposed to go back and have them redo the crown that didn't go to my gums, but it also was ttd place to didn't clean my teeth right and discolored some of them. Any suggestions on how to trust there is actually an capable and honest dentist out there who can perform properly?
Ans: Identifying a capable and honest dentist is crucial for your oral health and well-being. Here are some tips to help you find one:

1. Ask for referrals: Ask friends, family, or coworkers for recommendations. They can provide valuable insights into a dentist's work quality and bedside manner.

2. Check credentials: Ensure the dentist has the necessary qualifications, certifications, and licenses. You can verify this information with your state's dental board or professional organizations like the American Dental Association (ADA).

3. Check online reviews: Look up the dentist on review platforms. Pay attention to the overall rating and read the comments to understand the strengths and weaknesses. At the same time, do not rely on reviews alone as these can be manipulated, fake reviews can be easily generated.

4. Evaluate their communication style: A good dentist should listen to your concerns, explain procedures clearly, and answer questions patiently. Ensure you feel comfortable asking questions and discussing your treatment.

5. Assess their facility and equipment: A well-organized and modern dental office with up-to-date equipment is a good sign.

6. Check their approach to preventive care: A capable dentist emphasizes preventive care, including regular cleanings, exams, and education on oral hygiene.

7. Be wary of over-treatment: A honest dentist will not recommend unnecessary procedures. Be cautious if you feel pressured into extensive treatments.

8. Trust your instincts: If something feels off or you don't click with the dentist, it's okay to explore other options.

10. Schedule a consultation: Many dentists offer initial consultations or meet-and-greets. Use this opportunity to assess their approach, ask questions, and gauge your comfort level.

By following these steps, you can increase your chances of finding a capable and honest dentist who prioritizes your oral health and well-being.
