Hello, friends! I'm Dr. Stephen Ray, and I've been documenting my journey through dental school and into dentistry for years. On this channel, I've created a collection of videos that chronicle my four years of dental school, starting as a lonely D1 during COVID and ending as a complete Doctor of Dental Surgery. I cover various topics related to dental school and am excited to begin creating videos aimed at my fellow dentists and prospective patients. This channel is all about passion, creativity, self-care, service of others, and brightening up the world one smile at a time. Join me on this journey and subscribe today!
How Dental School Ended *Vlog
🦷🧠 Before dental school ended, I filmed one final vlog to seal the deal. Vlogs have been a great way for me to share my dental school experiences with all of you over the years. This vlog is the end of an era. In this vlog, I bring you along with me as I navigate my final days of dental school. I bring you into the emotional weight of ending a hard for years of learning, growing, and becoming the dentist I hope to be. These final days were surreal, and I'm very happy to bring you along with me. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

What’s the difference between god and an oral surgeon ?
thid is a good way but i think there is an addon for this tasl?
Rewatching alot of your videos my man. 17K subscribers now! Wow dude 😎
I really want to go to dental school in Fall 2026! I’ve assisted with general dentists and orthodontists over the past three summers between high school and undergrad semesters. When I’m helping out, I continue to wonder about whether or not I would want to specialize in endodontics-particularly because I enjoy having a plan and not being overwhelmed by variation. The only downside is the absolute MESS that is left in the room.😢
I'm starting to use Anki again, but my version doesn't look as full as your version. Is there a paid version? Is it because I am on a Mac? I want to partition my decks before they get unwieldy for one thing, and I liked the differently colored buttons . . .
How to manage 2 profile without overlapping?
Congrats Stephen! You were a great student to have! -Mauricia your OD Assistant
I had an older version of Anki on my computer, but haven't used it in {quite some time} so today I downloaded the newest version available for my computer, made a deck (thanks to this video! it's a cloze) but when I tried to study it I was told it wasn't compatible, and I can't figure out how to make it compatible. Can anyone help? MacBook Air Mac OS Sonoma 14.5 downloaded the one that said Mac +12 or something like that....
I got over this hump BY MYSELF!! Go me!!!
what type of monitor are you using?
Thank you for making this so easy to understand!! There is an overwhelming amount of videos out there that just make it more confusing lol. Thank u!!
What frames are these?
doesnt work anymore :(
Fatih Seferagic look alike, good one thanks👍👍
Can you talk about bonuses
Hi congrats. 🎉 Does DAT have any similar questions with INBDE any shared topics or it’s completely different? TIA
Great description of the money part
❤❤
Thank you for making this
I'm 35 and I'am a sheriff and I've chosen to go back to school to be a dentist. Wish me luck
Thanks for sharing your experience and letting some tips for studying!!
Thanks, bro, but there are some videos that I tried to do the same way, and they didn't work. What should I do?
Hi doc, thanks for the video. What do you use for buccal and lingual gual clearance in patient, apart from enamel hatchet?
It’s been an honor following your journey and watching you and your channel grow. Excited for the new clinic expansions and what the future holds. Congrats Dr. Ray!!🎉
You TOTALLY skipped how to create a deck and add to it. This didn’t help me😢
Alternatively, you can hit Command-Control-Shift-3 and your screen shots are just saved to your clipboard. After that you can paste anywhere. When you paste in Anki, it will save it in the anki image folder vs a regular screen sot being saved to your desktop (or wherever you have them set to save). Thanks for the video.
Hi! Are you using your orascoptics for oral surgery? And then your ergoprisms for restorative procedures and fixed prosth/endo?
Is there a way to modify a deck with Audio Speed? Meaning rather than normal, I can slow it down.
I finally passed my DAT exam after all the stress.I thank God for the great opportunity and my tutor Thomas 🎊🎊🎉🎉 All my prayers to those struggling to pass through DAT cause it hasn't been easy.I hope y'all make it some day too Amen🙏
I failed 3 times, i lost money to reviews that never helped but the major thing is that I've not lost hope
Passing the DAT is when you study hard,if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself help like Mr Thomas
I had interest in working with him but I was discouraged by my friends out of ignorance 😔
I have a cousin who never studied much,we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than studies after writing DAT last month, she passed and I failed😣, I asked her how she did it, just found out she got her help from Mr Thomas ..
Sometimes hard work doesn’t pay you have to back it up with smartness🤓, I think your cousin understood that perfectly
Should I live w parents for 2 years and grind out the job and put all my profits during that time into the loans so that I'm basically debt free? I have no problem doing that at 26-28 years of age
My friend I’m literally doing that as we speak. I’m a dentist now and living with my parents saving money. No shame in it at all
So proud of you!!!! Can’t wait to experience this myself. Can you please make a video about personal statement and what is more important? Thank you!!
Thanks so much for the comment!! I’ve made a few videos about the personal statement and here is the most recent one! ua-cam.com/video/-970MCqvWnM/v-deo.htmlsi=bWy4cNjus8gykj1K best of luck!
200 shadowing hrs seems like a ton, but i bet it passes by quick
hey dr ray, pre dent student here, im still shadowing dentists rn, but how do you log your hour? i cant just put on the application "trust me bro, i got these shadowing hours"
Haha great question! I kept track of my hours on an excel spreadsheet and then yeah on your application you list however many hours you did with each dentist. It’s an honors system where you put what you put and they expect you to be truthful. But if you have a lot of hours with a doctor they expect you to be able to speak about that doctor and their practice specifically. That way if you put 50 hours with one doc and you come into an interview, you’re not just like “yeah it was good I learned a lot” they need to see you learned in those 50 hours if that makes sense
@@stephenraydentist thanks doc! i really appreciate it from a fellow tennessean!
Hi dr. Stephen first of all congratulations on passing the INBDE! I want to ask you if INBDE bootcamp can help me study for both INBdE and ADAT?
Thank you so much!! I used DAT Bootcamp and INBDE bootcamp and both were flawless experiences for me!! I would recommend them to anyone!!
@@stephenraydentist but my question is, would the INBDE bootcamp prepare also for the ADAT, it's different to the DAT. Do you know if would be beneficial for preparing for ADAT?
Congrats Stephen, I started watching you 3 years ago when I just got into dental school. Crazy how far you came man, excited to see what the future holds 👏
Congratulations Stephen! Started watching you when I was applying for dental school and you were just beginning your journey. I’m currently a D3 in Detroit and continue to be inspired by your content everyday. Enjoy your graduation and the exciting future ahead!
Would u accept me to work with u and Dr Schneider after I graduate from dental school??😂😂❤❤
Great video. I start school in August and I'm thankful for amazing people like you who've helped us throughout the Pre-Dental and Dental process-! I look forward to seeing your in office dental content.
Congratulations, Dr. Stephen Ray 🫡 Pint nights will have to return at CE conferences someday
Hi Stephen! I have been watching your videos since you were in dental school and I am very happy to see everything you have accomplished and I will be accomplishing. I admire you very much and I feel very proud to see all the effort and hard work you have done over all these years to get here. Congratulations on your graduations I wish you much success as a profesional dentist may it be a great blessing in the lives of your patiens and may you continue to archieve many new archievements.
Congrats!! Bitter sweet
Have loved the journey. Congratulations 🎉
Dude I started watching you in your second year, I feel so emotional over you graduating, congratulations!!!!
I thought the clip at 8:53 was a UA-cam ad, lmao. Congrats on finishing!
It’s crazy how we spend so much time and effort getting into and through dental school, but we don’t realize that it’s still just the beginning! You get to start the best part, living life as a practicing dentist. I’m excited to see what’s next on the channel!!
similar to other comments, started watching you as i was applying to dental school and now im in my third year at kentucky. Your videos have been awesome and entertaining, and i know itll be rewarding for you to look back on all of these memories later on in life, because its all gone by so fast. Good luck in your future endeavors mate you’re gonna kill it!
Mikayla is soo nice and always soo happy when I come to clinic.
So sick, hope you make videos about your experience with starting to actually work!
Excited for you and your career as a dentist
I am over joyed for you Dr. Stephen I have loved watching you. I am taking my stuff so that I can apply its a long road but I will make it.
RIP Pint Night
