What is it like being a Dentist?

Being a dentist is one of the most amazing careers! You have the ability to own your own business while making a difference in the lives of so many patients by educating them about the importance of excellent dental health. You are also able to build lifelong friendships, and a trusting professional relationship, with your patients and other healthcare providers that refer to you. Dentistry also has various specialties such as pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, and more so there is no shortage of reasons on why becoming a dentist is such an amazing career!

My work life starts with developing lifelong relationships with my team, servicing patients dental needs, and really feeling like I am making a positive impact on people’s lives. I am a practicing Pediatric Dentist, so on top of running the day-to-day operations with an executive team, I am also in our offices working with patients. It is a balance that I have learned to master with such an amazing and supportive team.

Pros

Becoming a dentist is having the option to choose from so many different specialties. You can also work as much or as little as you want. By owning your own business, you’re able to hire other dentists to help with your practice. The flexibility of my career and the ability to make a huge difference in patient’s lives are at the top of my PROS!
