It gets old when you don't know what you're doing, like me.

If you've already decided that you'd rather be a drill jockey than a desk jockey...

Your question kinda answers itself.

Drill jockey sounds so manly.

Well, my experience is extremely limited, but already I have a strong sense that it won't get boring. Although the procedures may be the same, how the goal is achieved will be different.

It's like playing the same golf course every day, except for the fact that the weather changes, your club selection changes, and the hold changes position every day. The scenery is the same, but you're always looking at it in a different manner. That's what a wise SDN dentist once said.

I said that!

I think any job can get old. One of the reasons I went into OMS is because it seemed like less of a "job" and seemed like I would deal with more interesting stuff. I thought that would keep my attention. It's amazing how it used to be exciting to get up in the middle of the night for some big face crunch. But that got old real quick.

dentistry involves a ton of patient interaction. If you enjoy working with people it will not get boring.

keep smelling them until your nose is desensitized!

 

[Zurik5]

Don't make them.

Don't make them.

I keep mine in vinegar when I'm not wearing them. You don't even notice the old odors, & it tastes great besides.


...oh, you meant other people's dentures?

Gross.

Anything can get old after time. Variety in your practice can help keep things from getting dull, but ultimately, I guess, it's dependent on you -- your personality, your staff and co-workers, the kinds of patients you accept, etc.
