Pursuing dentistry in Singapore | Dr Watt Sook May x Aspirecare podcast

i was on a podcast 🎙️ — here's everything i shared about dentistry, residency & life in private practice

recently, i had the privilege of being featured on the aspire care podcast, hosted by liyi (year 1 NUS nursing student) and CC (NYP nursing graduate). aspirecare is a wonderful platform where healthcare voices are heard, stories are shared, and change is inspired — they've featured guests across medicine, nursing, physiotherapy and allied health, and i'm really grateful to have been part of it.

we covered a lot of ground — from why i chose dentistry, to what dental school is actually like, to my own braces journey as a patient, to my decision to pursue an orthodontic residency, and whether dentists really do have great work-life balance (spoiler: it's complicated). 

so here's the full breakdown 👇

things i wish someone told me as a dental student (Copy)

there are things i wish someone had told me when i was a dental student.

maybe someone did — but at that time, i didn't fully believe it. because i didn't have enough faith in myself.

if you're in the thick of it right now — wherever you are in the world — this post is for you.

Korean language 30 day journey

더 자연스럽게 말하는 방법이나 제가 틀린 부분이 있으면 댓글로 알려주세요!

제목 그대로, 앞으로 30일 동안 카메라 앞에서 한국어로 말해보려고 합니다. 😊

저는 한국어를 10년 넘게 배워왔지만, 실제로 말할 기회가 많지 않아 아직도 어색하게 들릴 때가 많아요. 이번 도전을 통해 한국어 말하기에 대한 자신감을 더 키우고 싶습니다.

TOPIK 6급 입니다. 아무래도 영어로 된 치과 관련 콘텐츠도 올릴 예정이라, 이 콘텐츠는 조금씩 나눠서 업로드하려고 해요. 그리고 중간중간 연습하면서 더 성장하는 모습을 보여드리고 싶어요.

앞으로 영상에서 제가 한국어를 배우게 된 계기랑 TOPIK 시험 꿀팁들 하나씩 풀어볼게요. 많이 지켜봐 주세요!

As the title suggests, I’ll be speaking Korean in front of the camera for the next 30 days.

I’ve been learning Korean for over 10 years, but I still sound awkward because I haven’t had many chances to actually speak the language. And I’m also awkward in front of the camera 🥲 hope to improve from this challenge!

I’ll also be sharing the story of how I started learning Korean as my third language. I’ll be uploading this gradually and practising more in between!

About me

Hello! 👋I’m Dr Watt Sook May, a dentist in private practice here in Singapore. 🇸🇬

I was once a kid who didn’t like going to the dentist 😅 — but inspired by my dad, I eventually followed in his footsteps and went on to complete my Masters in Orthodontics. 🪥💙

Outside the clinic, my family and friends know me as May. I try my best to stay active 🏃‍♀️ I’m a huge fan of Korean dramas, shows, and music — even picked up the language along the way! 🎶

This page is where I’ll be sharing a mix of my dental journey, life outside the clinic, and the stories that shaped me.

Thanks for being here — I can’t wait to connect with you all! 🤍
