In this episode, I share a recent office hours conversation with a Doc who was feeling conflicted about the next step in her career. She was burned out from traditional practice ownership and struggled with team management and financial stress. I recommended that she consider owning a dental house call practice, which offers the benefits of low debt, no team, and significant flexibility, making it an ideal option for her situation, especially given her passion for serving homebound patients. Despite her concerns about continuing complex surgical and cosmetic procedures, I assured her that house-call dentistry could be a perfect side hustle, allowing her to maintain her current role as an associate while exploring this new venture.
I also shared my own experiences to highlight the benefits of house-call dentistry. Starting my dental house call practice as a side hustle provided me with an additional source of income and gave me the freedom to learn and grow without financial pressure. This flexibility allowed me to adjust my schedule during important life events like pregnancy and my daughter’s first year. I emphasized that owning a house call practice does not limit one’s professional scope; instead, it opens up numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth. In closing, I encourage other dentists to consider this fulfilling and adaptable career path, which benefits both practitioners and homebound patients.
