i retired as a dentist at 30 years old... now what? 

Its strange i found this video. Our local HVAC repairman was a dentist for 8 years. He said, the field was so different than he ever imagined. He told me he was so much happier now. You just never expect someone to leave a white collar career for a blue collar career.

I think most people don't take dental health seriously so dentists aren't appreciated. I learned this the hard way late in life. Fortunately, my dentist saved a lot of my teeth and I treasure him now. Dentists are amazing,!

Today’s dental student don’t go through the same stress like past dental student generations. The older generations spent most of their time in the dental lab, working on projects and working on their artistic skills. We had to make our own crowns out of wax and cast our own crowns. We learned about occlusion when making these crowns and setting up denture cases. In the first year, those who didn’t have the “hands” and mental strength could not continue (which prepares a young dentist to work with the stress of private practice). Regarding your clear aligned classes, I stress that you teach about occlusion and the importance of submitting full records. I am disgusted that many general dentist don’t think about “finishing the case” by have good occlusion. I have seen many cases where occlusion was not addressed. I recently had a new patient going through re-treatment (was treated by a traveling Orthodontist), and she said her previous dentist did not take records like we did in our office. One time I talked to a rep who represented the largest clear aligned company. She told me I was one of the few dentist who submit complete records in her territory . I asked her, “How can your company make these aligners when you don’t receive complete records?” She said, “We are only a lab. We are not responsible for bad results.” How disappointed many think about the money, and not the ethics of doing good dentistry. Best of luck on your new adventures.

BOLD STEP 🎉🎉 IT TAKES GUT AND YOU DID THE RIGHT THING

You can choose the easy way, but at the end of the day deep down you will alway know that you couldn't do it. There are no miracles. The effort you put in, the outcomes you will have. Laziness rarely brings prosperity. I wish you all your dreams come true.

BC dentistry sucks...and making money from an internet based business is 1000X better than dentistry. Good for you and I wish you the best!!

Good for you, hope you made the right choice. I would have stuck it out at least 5 more years in that nice dental group practice and really gotten to be skilled at the things I like to do. Aligner treatment is not as straight forward as they make you believe, my background in classical orthodontics taught me that. They are a great tool in the right hands for the right cases. Diagnosis is key! I bet you teach that in your courses. Best of luck creating good content that people actually need and want. I personally never thought there is a big need for it as there are plenty of reputable courses already offered since Invisalign started. But hey, you can always go back into clinical dentistry when the going gets tough again! 😉

Sad to say - GOOD CHOICE! I actually am happy for you, as I believe you will help other dentist to be honest and think of the Patient and themselves in a better way. Best wishes, for a LONG and happy life! Cathy Carlile Turner

Good for you. I wish you the best!

Nailed it Avi, you go get it my friend...

Yeah... Move forward .. BE HAPPY

Congratulations! Love the part about being led and called towards another direction. It takes courage and wisdom to know your strengths and what you want. Wish you all the best from another general dentist that appreciates all your videos.

Best of luck to you!

Ohh man. All the best. 🎉

Seriously the magic word is money

My husband also graduated from NYUCD

Do you teach invisalign or a different aligner brand?

We have a dog named simba, tell me you’re an NRI without telling me you’re an NRI

Eight jobs in two years, did you get fired often?

What happens to your patients undergoing aligner treatment that they entrusted you with. I would hate to be abandoned by my dentist.
