Challenge #1 for Dentists:
Burnout

Our coaches work with you to develop strategies to manage stress, prioritize self-care, and achieve a better work-life balance. By implementing efficient systems, dental best practices, and enhancing your time management skills, you'll experience reduced burnout and a more enjoyable, fulfilling career.
Challenge #2 for Dentists:
Reduced Reimbursements
from PPOs
According to a 2019 ADA Health Policy Institute survey, 82.4% of dentists in the United States participated in at least one PPO, which often results in reduced reimbursements compared to traditional fee-for-service models (ADA, 2019).

Concerns about DSOs
and Competition
A 2019 ADA Health Policy Institute survey found that 7.4% of dentists in the U.S. were affiliated with a Dental Service Organization (DSO), with the percentage expected to increase in the coming years. This growing trend has led to increased competition and concerns among independent dental practitioners (ADA, 2019). ADA Health Policy Institute. (2019). Dental Practice Survey.

Challenge #5 for Dentists:
Long Hours and
Reduced Income
According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, dentists work an average of 37 hours per week, with many working evenings and weekends to meet patient needs. Despite these long hours, a 2020 survey by Dental Economics found that 30% of dentists experienced a decline in income over the previous year, with 17% reporting a significant decrease (Dental Economics, 2020).
The Long Hours/ Less Income challenge
Work Less Days and Make More Profit

Challenge #6 for Dentists:
Rising Student Debt
The ADA reported in 2019 that the average dental school graduate carried a student loan debt of $292,169, an increase of 65% since 2000 when adjusted for inflation. This growing financial burden has contributed to stress and dissatisfaction among dental professionals (ADA, 2019).
