What are some jobs that dentists can do? I get this question all the time. We all wish we could get a hold of that top secret list of other jobs dentists can do, don’t we? It’s a good question, and creating a collective brainstorm with others is a great way to find new options. But the question is flawed. It’s flawed because it’s the wrong question, and it doesn’t work. I see it all the time in my Facebook group. Someone posts the question, and a lot of people join this collective brainstorm. It’s great to see everyone come out...
Want to know my best tip for finding alternative careers for dentists? Stop asking everyone else what they do outside of dentistry!

How much did you know about dentistry before you chose it as your forever career? If you’re like me, not much. Many of us interviewed a few dentists, spent a handful of afternoons shadowing them, or just found teeth interesting as patients. We chose dentistry based on a somewhat superficial impression of the work involved. You can see how easy it would be get into the career and then realize it’s totally wrong for us. Imagine if you did that with your romantic relationships. Imagine marrying someone after you’ve only met for coffee 5 times. It would be kind of...
