Hello all,

I was going over SDN interview feedback to prepare for interviews, but one question that I could not get a good answer at was "what is one thing you don't like about dentistry OR one thing you like the least?" Would you guys share your inputs to this question? Thank you

The real answer, that small percent of nonproductives that just make your life hell and are cheap AF. There's that few percent in your practice that you hope just never comes back.

The interview answer: some public policy or market failure that prevents access to dentistry. Shows that you care about access to care.

Another "interview answer" may involve a shaking fist at corporate and venture capital practices.

Also you gotta love the everyday hustle of being your own boss.

Only a few percent…?

Yeah, the ones that are compatible with you stick around and the others that don't like you (or you don't like) eventually leave, and then you got that small percent that just annoy the $hit out of you and just never left. Practice darwinism works most of the time in that your practice sheds the people you don't want to keep, but ugh, its just those people whose name you dread when you see them on the schedule.
