Dental Associate Jobs // How to Find the Right Role

[@farticusthefirst901]

Just found this channel, moved to California and trying to get into dental school. I find your story to be very inspirational, motivating and I do want to be somewhere in you're position later in my life!

[@traywaters1575]

Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your videos! I’ve been watching for a year and a half now and you tremendously helped me get into dental school this cycle. Me and the community you’ve built here would love to see more posts again whenever you are able.

thx Tray :)

I think it's crucial to make sure both owner and associate have similar treatment philosophies. If one dentist is conservative and other dentist is more aggressive in how they approach things then that will lead to a bad outcome. Staff, patients end up getting confused. Dentistry can be very subjective, so it's very important for both owner and associate to make sure their treatment philosophies align before starting the relationship. Just my opinion.

I am about to start dental school in the fall and you experience and knowledge you share is so amazing. Honestly opens up my thought process and keeps me well informed

[@StephenRothDDS]

I agree with showing up at the practice. Different scenerio but as a specialist trying to build my practice, I've been going door to door to introduce myself. In one office, the dentist was out but had a great conversation with the office manager- they're now my biggest source of referrals!

love yo hear it!

[@stephenraydentist]

One word: invaluable. Thank you for this one, Joel!!

[@soniabeheshtinia6854]

Hi Joel, I love your videos and they have helped me a lot in my journey to getting into dental school! Thank you for all the advice you share. Wish you would post again soon. :)

[@corycox8033]

Joel… your vids are seriously so helping. Can’t thank you enough! And I loved what you said about wanting to replace a dentist; not be apart of their expansion process.

[@prestonp91]

He’s back!

Don't think that I stopped watching your videos :) Coments comments comments for the algorithm!!

we miss you joel

"Worrying about things that probably don't matter" summarizes the majority of my dental school experience >.< Things have a tendency to work out if you listen and ask rather than taking every opportunity presented simply at face-value.

[@jackhansmiles]

Most I have learned from a video in a while. Such applicable advice thank you Joel!

[@stephenleroux7871]

Thanks for all your info, your videos are incredible, Joel! Do you think you could (please!) kindly address the whole "practicing in Canada vs the US and which is better" dilemma?! Cheers!

[@arnoldwilson5377]

Amazing videos. Much appreciated.

[@doingdentalschool]

Super great advice, definitely good things for me to keep in mind as I get farther into dental school!

[@Leeky_speaks]

I want to pursue a career in dentistry but if I do I will most definitely do the military scholarship route I’ll be out of school with no debt and done with active duty at about 30 which isn’t bad at all

[@ovz402]

missed you joel :D thanks for the info

[@ReidEvers]

you should upload again :)

[@danieljuarez911]

Can you possibly make a video on why dentistry fell down the ranks on the US News' best jobs report?

[@pillowz6604]

Thanks for the info!

[@ellisback6519]

Can you do a video about practice management and how to be profitable?

[@devamithrakh3725]

If I did BDS in india can I work abroad (like Canada,us and all ).

[@jsh1344]

Working in the US you would have to either complete an International Dentist Program (IDP) or get accepted into a residency. For the IDP route, it’s typically two years of dental school, joining a class in their 3rd year. The other option is to go straight into a residency, general or specialty but this is typically more competitive. A BDS alone wouldn’t allow you to work in the US unfortunately. I’m not as familiar with Canada in terms of their exact route, but there are equivalency options as well. In don’t believe a BDS alone would be transferable, but again, not as familiar with Canada.

@@jsh1344Thankyou 🤜🤛

[@NAZ-fu3mv]

Brooooo thank youuuuu

[@DentalSalon]

if you dont talk with the "man"or female before hiring then don't bother. Theres some decent stuff here. Kinda. Very generalistic. The stuff about the over-promising (lying) offers is correct. No practice in the real world can pay 45% productiom. A quality staff gets another 26=30%. Then you have rent supplies marketing. Nice vlog - Mark Morris

[@anasmasood7586]

What type of dentist are you, are you an orthodontist?

[@ReidEvers]

no, he was a general dentist, not currently practicing

[@kiwithatpic7729]

How long did it take you to become a dentist? Do you get pay when u just start dental school?

[@mr.nizaya5805]

So can i ask does a oral surgeon own a dental practice?

[@MrTheTomahawk]

they can but still rely on referrals

[@tarandeepsidhu6812]

Are you from Canada?

[@ReidEvers]

yes he is

[@BB-fc3it]

You’re a dentist again?

[@jmey]

nope

[@BB-fc3it]

@@jmey nice! Work smart, not hard.
