In this episode, I wanted to discuss a topic that has been frequently brought up by listeners! The safety of conducting dental house calls. After nearly four years of experience, I have never faced significant safety issues. So I’m reminding listeners of some practical tips from previous episodes on how to ensure safety, such as hiring an assistant, keeping your phone nearby, and situating yourself safely in a room.

I also want to point out that most of my new patients come through referrals from other healthcare providers, which adds a layer of trust and security. Additionally, I point to other professions that involve working in clients' homes on a daily basis without major problems as a reassurance. Finally, I emphasize that while it is crucial to take precautions, the fear of house calls should not deter dentists from offering this valuable service to patients who genuinely need it. Thank you for listening and considering a career in house-call dentistry.

This week I wanted to address a listener's question about the essentials for starting a house-call dental practice. I want to clarify that you do not need a specialized mobile dental van—any mode of transportation, like a simple minivan or even a small car, will suffice. Sharing my personal journey, I discuss how I started with a basic suitcase and evolved to using the Milwaukee Packout system, a durable and organization-friendly tool storage solution from Home Depot, thanks to my electrician husband.

In addition, I highlight the simplicity and practicality of the house call practice model, encouraging aspiring dentists not to be overwhelmed by perceived complexities or the need for specialized dental equipment. To help you get started, I offer additional resources such as my free masterclass and the Dental House Call Practice Academy online course. Remember, starting a house call practice is more straightforward than you might think, and with the right approach, you can successfully build your practice.

This week, as we enter the New Year, I wanted to address the pervasive issue of dentist burnout, a challenge that has shadowed our community for years. With a recent survey revealing that 40% of dentists feel unable to continue in their roles, it's crucial to explore the root causes of this stress, including financial burdens, workplace conflicts, time management issues, high-pressure procedures, and inadequate work-life balance. So, this week, we discuss potential solutions and offer a fresh perspective on how changing your practice model could alleviate these stressors.

In this episode, we delve into the advantages of transitioning to a dental house-call practice, which can offer more financial flexibility, fewer workplace conflicts, improved time management, and stress-free procedure options. House-call dentistry allows for a more personalized and less rushed patient interaction while providing a much-needed work-life balance. With reduced dependencies on insurance companies, practitioners can enjoy a direct fee-for-service model, enhancing financial freedom and professional satisfaction.

For listeners considering this shift, our episode provides detailed insights into what a house-call practice entails and how it can transform your dentistry career. In addition, we address great resources, such as my free ebook, "A Day in the Life of a House Call Dentist,", and information on the Dental House Call Practice Academy for those ready to take the leap. Join us in redefining your path in dentistry for a fulfilling and well-balanced professional life!
