We live in a world in which perception becomes reality in the mind of the beholder. The perception is that dentists are swimming in cash the day they graduate from dental school. Dentists are among the brightest and most successful in society, and certainly you need not worry about money after your practice is established. You can do very well financially if you are smart with your money but, as you know, it takes time and it takes years to truly build a practice to the point where the business model is running on all cylinders. A successful Dental practice has a cohesive and committed staff of professionals working alongside of you, as well.
