Dentists have a variety of options when it comes to salaries. They can choose between private practice or working for an employer, as well as work in rural or urban areas. Dentist salaries vary depending on these factors, but they are typically higher than average due to the high demand for this profession and the skills required to succeed at it.

The average dentist makes a significant amount more than the average worker.

The average dentist is paid more than the average worker, but not by much. The annual wage for dentists in Namibia is N$1 054 643

A dental hygienist who works full-time and has been in the profession for 5 years can expect to earn $47,080 per year. Their counterparts in the business make an annual salary of $56,360 on average. When you compare that with a medical doctor, who makes $200,000 annually on average (and up to $500K), it seems like dentists are getting short-changed! So why are they paid less? It turns out there’s a very good reason: it’s because they need less training!
