Does dentistry count as a healthy field to work in?
Parts of it are, and parts of it are not, and you get to choose which side you stand on. A field is healthy when you provide something people genuinely want and need, you do it at a high level, and that good work also rewards you with career advancement and real economic security. When those two things line up, you are in a healthy field. Plenty of professions let you make an enormous amount of money while you struggle to find anything good in what you actually do. That is not health. In dentistry today, staying on the healthy side takes deliberate choices. Pick the procedures and the patients where doing right by the person and doing well for yourself point in the same direction. That alignment is the whole game.
If the answers you are finding here resonate with you, my team and I work with a small group of clients each year. The next step is a complimentary Discovery Consultation and Practice Review with Dr. McAnally.
