office visit "The biggest problem I see facing most dentists is their mindset and being limited by circumstances or limiting their beliefs in what they can accomplish. Rather than focusing on what's possible and what they can achieve in their careers and in life, they choose to focus on reasons why they cannot." What advice would you want to give to new dentists? 1. 2. 3. 4. 76 APRIL 2018 // dentaltown.com Educate yourself and grow. I was told to be a consummate learner and always be willing to learn. A better way to look at this is that you should always want to be growing. When you grow yourself, your business grows too. Stay in shape. Dentistry is tough on your body! It's so important to stay physically fit so you can not only perform your best on a day-to-day basis, but you also can practice until you want to give it up, instead of your body deciding for you. Give back in life. There are tons of people out there who are less fortunate than you are. Help out a patient in need now and again, donate your time in your community, or help raise money for a great cause. Giving makes you feel great, and when you feel great, great things happen. Have a confident mindset. I believe these two things go hand and hand. You have to be a positive person in life. Nobody likes a negative individual. Focus on being positive! Believe it or not, this is a significant part of case acceptance. ■http://www.dentaltown.com
