What do practicing dentists know that dental students don't? What business skills do dental schools fall short on teaching students? What reality is waiting for dental students once they get that diploma?
In the second part of this episode of The Dental Download Podcast with experienced dentist and practice owner Dr. Justin Griffin (also known as The Smile Doc on TikTok), he shares what a long career in dentistry has taught him about dentistry, patients, teams and running a business.
If you're a dental student, new graduate, or early-career dentist, this episode offers powerful insights on:
- The realities of associate vs. practice ownership
- How dentists can design a career with more income, flexibility, and time off
- Business skills every dentist should learn outside of dental school
Whether you're considering practice ownership, evaluating associate positions, or looking to improve the business side of your dental career, this conversation is packed with actionable insights to help you build a practice and life you actually want.
