A good family life is required for success in any profession. But it is especially required for a dentist. The reason is simple.
Dentistry is mentally, physically, financially and spiritually stressful. And a good family life is the most affective stress buster. It is only when you forget about dentistry completely when you enter your house, will you be able to perform dentistry better the next day when you enter the clinic.
As the years go by I would recommend that dentists reduce their working hours and spend more time with their family.
Two short vacations and one long vacation in a year is a must. This is besides the conferences and CDE which we need to attend. During these vacations we must be completely away not only from dentistry but also from social media. A digital detox at regular intervals is also a must.
A cool and relaxed dentist attracts more patients. If a dentist is under any kind of stress it will reflect on his countenance and will affect his practice. Only a dentist who is calm and composed will be able to perform a fine and precise work that is expected of him.
Finally, patients like a dentist who is a smiling and cheerful family man. So remember that the time we spend outside dentistry with the family is as important as the time we spend performing dentistry for our patients. If a dentist spends quality time outside his clinic it will help him expand his practice and perform dentistry better.
