Like a beacon in the night! That was the feeling Dr. Paul Homoly`s column in the August issue of Dental Economics left with me. I am a "country dentist" who, over the last 10 years or so, has grown weary of somehow feeling like I must be missing the boat by not wanting to revamp my entire life (professional and personal) by attaching myself to the next or latest "in thing" in dentistry.

Like a beacon in the night! That was the feeling Dr. Paul Homoly`s column in the August issue of Dental Economics left with me. I am a "country dentist" who, over the last 10 years or so, has grown weary of somehow feeling like I must be missing the boat by not wanting to revamp my entire life (professional and personal) by attaching myself to the next or latest "in thing" in dentistry.
This morning, I cemented four units of C&B on one patient, and I did a two-surface amalgam on the next. I made lots of money on one and lost money on the next, but I enjoyed each patient tremendously. I really love my job, and sometimes wonder if the folks on the cutting edge of their "latest thing" even like their work.
Dr. Homoly, thanks for your perspective. I have been in private practice for more than 25 years, and I don`t foresee the need or desire to quit. Maybe I`ll slow down, but I sure hope I don`t have to leave it altogether, ever.
