WELCOME TO SECOND YEAR

The second year of dental school is a critical period for developing both foundational knowledge and practical skills. Courses in anatomy, histology, and physiology lay the groundwork for your future studies. Mastery in these areas is essential, particularly as you begin to hone your manual skills through tasks like carving teeth from wax.

Anatomy and histology require focused study, as they are key to understanding the human body. Physiology, while generally straightforward, should not be overlooked; consider private tutoring to streamline your efforts. Dental materials is one of the more challenging subjects—consistent, lecture-by-lecture study is vital to passing the written exams on the first attempt.

In the second semester, neuroanatomy will demand most of your attention. Prioritize it, but rest assured that other courses can typically be managed during the exam period.

The second year is all about establishing a solid base in both theory and practice. Strategic focus and disciplined study will set you up for success in the more demanding years to come.
