I've been exactly where you are.
I know how it feels to wake up and wonder if this is really all there is to your dental career. That feeling of being a bit lost, like you're just going through the motions every day without really enjoying it.
I've had those days where I couldn't figure out why I wasn't more fulfilled, why I felt stuck, and why the things that were supposed to make me happy in my practice just weren't cutting it anymore. Trust me, I've been there.
Don’t get me wrong. There were things I enjoyed about dentistry but I found myself dreading it more than looking forward to it. So, when I found dental sleep medicine, I really found a niche within dentistry that I had a passion for.
Where it all began...
It all started when I hit what felt like a dead end. I was checking all the boxes that were supposed to lead to a happy dental career, but somehow, I wasn't feeling it. I was missing out on time with my growing family and at the end of the workday I just felt exhausted and lacked the energy or focus I wanted for my family.
On top of that, I was just plain tired of hearing things like “I hate the dentist.”
I started looking for other career paths or “side hustles” to help me escape from chairside dentistry but I kept getting pulled back in for one reason or another.
When a close family member needed help with her sleep apnea, that’s when it all finally clicked for me. I didn’t need to look outside of dentistry for my passion. I needed to look for a niche within dentistry that I could be passionate about.
I began treating family members and team members and family members of team members and from there my sleep practice grew and grew mostly through word of mouth at first. Everything started to change when I realized I could truly have an amazing impact on patients and their families and I wanted to help as many people as possible!
You're in the
perfect place.
If you're feeling stuck, unsure, or just plain tired of not feeling fulfilled in dentistry, then this is your starting line for a journey to finding what really lights you up inside.
