ResiDental Movement

The physicality of house call dentistry should not be underestimated.  Consider ergonomics at work and learn how to take care of yourself at home, too.   

If you're curious about how to schedule your days so that you can provide care sustainably, download my free guide called "A Day in the Life of a House Call Dentist"

If you'd like to support the patients who struggle to afford dental home care, consider donating to the Home Smile Care Foundation. 

Some of the best business advice I’ve been given is to start small and get fancy later.  There’s no shame in humble beginnings.  Getting started sooner is better than waiting until absolutely everything is all figured out.  I’m not saying that you shouldn’t be thoughtful, all I’m saying is that if you’re waiting for perfection, you’ll be waiting forever.  

I don’t want you to lose momentum.  I want you to get started ASAP.

In a nutshell, here’s the elementary business lesson that I finally learned and that I want you to know from the beginning: Profit is not optional.  

If you truly believe the world needs your dental home care services, you need to make sure that your business is healthy and sustainable.  If you want your business to serve people indefinitely, you MUST be a good steward of your resources.  In order to do this, you must understand and honor the value of your resources, like your time and your skills.  This means charging what you’re worth.

A Day in the Life of a House Call Dentist 

Opening your own house call dental service is like venturing into the perfect blue ocean that varies SO much from a traditional dental practice.

Book: Blue Ocean Strategy

In this first episode, I’m going to introduce you the ResiDENTAL Movement.

The silly term “ResiDENTAL” playfully describes my work of residential dental care or dental house calls.  

Whenever I tell someone that I’m a house call dentist, the questions are endless.   People can’t even imagine a dentist in their home!  

Dental house calls have been happening for decades in large cities, but are not available in every city.  In most cities, patient have no options for dental home care.  

My mission is to make dental home care normal instead of novel or niche.  So I’m recording this podcast to encourage you and other dentists like you to offer at-home dental services, too.  

I’m hopeful that this model will gain traction over time so that me, you and other dentists can start a movement to normalize dental home care.  Hence the name of this show, ResiDENTAL Movement. 

There is not only a significant need for dental home care, but a demand for dental home care.  Also, I hope that you now know you could play a role in the ResiDENTAL Movement.
