One of the most difficult professional programs is dental school, which calls for a balance between preclinical skill development, academic learning, and mental wellness. The first and second years are crucial transitional times when students deal with everyday psychological and intellectual difficulties. The purpose of this questionnaire-based study was to determine and examine these everyday challenges faced by undergraduate dental students. 115 dental students were given a structured survey consisting of fourteen items. Descriptive statistics, such as mean scores and frequency percentages, were used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that the most commonly cited problems were Time management & Balancing work, assignments and internal exams, and academic burden. In order to enhance the general wellbeing of dentistry students, this study emphasizes the critical need for academic changes, time management education, and counseling help.
