Seeing as most dentists own their own practice, I'm curious about how taking vacation works. The dentist I shadowed today talked about not being able to take much vacation, due to the large amount of money lost from not working and continued overhead.
Is there an average number of weeks of vacation in general dentistry? Does this situation change much as an associate vs. owning your own practice?
I guess also if most dentists only work 4 days a week, there is something to consider there in terms of vacation, over the course of the year.
Any thoughts? In an ideal situation, I'd like to be able to take a couple 2-3 weeks vacation a year with my family. Just curious if dentistry will allow this, or at what cost. Thanks!
