How old should you be when you buy your first practice? If you have your own practice now, at what age did you buy it? I'm tired of working as an associate, but I don't feel totally comfortable about starting my own practice - it's a little intimidating.

How old are you now? I don't think there's any specific age that makes you ready, I think it's more feeling confident about your abilities as both a dentist and a business owner.

I want to go back to work in the dental field. I was an assistant for 10+ years. I miss helping people smile. But trying to find work that I can do within school hours is so hard! Has anyone found anything that is legit work from home? Either remote treatment plan presenting or helping with scheduling? I really need something from home because my husband travels so much. I’m located outside of Chicago if that helps.

I've been a dental assistant for 11 years , and I think I'm done . I feel the pay is never enough and 9/10 we do the most work in the office . It's never commensurate to what we do and no matter how much experience you have your still 3-5$ more than someone fresh out of school . It's a skill I'm glad to know that I can always find work but the burnout for nothing isn't worth it. Can anyone relate
