as a dental patient I’d say a small town because you can have your schedule easily organized and also plan your day accordingly and also appointments don’t have to be as rushed because I’m from Canada and from a big city and I’ve noticed it’s less stress and easy in a small town then it is in a city because there is a new oral health clinic at my college here in Canada and now I know why many patients don’t go there to get dental care because all they care about is money and rushing to treat their patients when they should take more time with their patients and take their time doing dental treatments and then maybe patients would want to come back to the oral health clinic but because they never care or take their time this is how they tend to lose past patients or former patients 🇨🇦 and I’d like for my dentist,orthodontist and oral surgeon take more time talking to me during my appointments because I love dentistry a lot and also I love my visits with my orthodontist Dr. Drew Smith of Smith Orthodontics here in Canada 🇨🇦 and also actually I had a dream that he had his new office because back in 2010 he had a small office close by my oral surgeons office but then he moved across town back in 2017 and his new office is nice and also they knocked down all the walls because it allows for better communication because at the other office it was all walls but still nice too but I had a dream of my orthodontist living in a small town and he wasn’t so rushed during my appointments and he could easily make his own schedule and also plan his day accordingly but I think when he’s in my city of London, Ontario he’s more rushed for some reason but I have another in-person orthodontist appointment coming up in December on Saturday, December 7th at 11:30 A.M. Canada 🇨🇦 time I’m so excited because I love orthodontist appointments even though too bad we are in a big city because I’ve noticed 2 things about the reality of dentistry : Mental health and also losing good patients due to cost and or bad choices it’s really sad but I’m glad that I always am supportive of all the social media dentists and also my own dentists here in Canada 🇨🇦 that they should if you have a hard time opening up to former patients about why they don’t trust and or are open to continuing dental treatment or ongoing treatment then just write them off and find patients who are loyal to your office like me because I’m my orthodontists favourite patient and I’m also his office ambassador and also both of my moms cousins work in Dentistry. hello 👋 from Canada 🇨🇦 🤗🩷🦷🦷🪥 @Beyond Dentistry
It depends a lot on your personality - if you are a self-starter or have a mentor or you just want to do routine bread and butter dentistry, you would probably be okay going straight into practice, but the right AEGD or GPR can really be a good springboard into more complicated dentistry and can help get your speed up. As far as going rural - honestly, unless it's your hometown or a you have family nearby, it might be smart to do an associateship in the town, just to get a feel for the area. Buying a practice does kind of "lock you in" and you would hate to realize a few years out you don't really like the rural thing. One thing you could considers is trying to find an FQHC job - they usually pay pretty well especially in rural areas. Good luck!
I wish I knew more about international dentistry. I think your best bet would be to figure out who licenses dentists, and whether your license transfers.
City! Location, Location, Location! After 3 years, a classmate moved back to the big city, after establishing a practice in a small rural community. He was not paid, was accused, was cursed, was harassed and was threatened. Many people appeared without appointments & demanded care. He had wanted to “help people living far from services.” (Stupid Whiskey Tangos) Good luck with that! A similar situation happened to another classmate’s dad. He loved being a large animal veterinarian. But there was no money in it. So, he had to move to the city and take care of cats and dogs. Making good money, feeling respected and helping people is a great thing.
I worked in rural Oklahoma and my boss averaged 40k daily production with tons of FMR and implants

Would you recommend a newly graduated dentist to attend a GPR/ AEGD program before retreating to the rural communities?
