Hello everyone, I am currently a D2 with an interest in periodontics. As my school does not currently have a periodontist I figured I would post here. Anyways, perio surgeries and implants are fascinating to me. I definitely am interested in a surgical field but am uninterested in 4-6 years of 80+ hour work weeks and also am not interested in operating extraorally so I am leaning towards perio. I am curious to hear from any current periodontists or anyone who knows any first hand, how is the market for this specialty? If you wanted to be a travelling specialist at either a corp or at various private practices how easy would it be to fill your schedule? If you wanted to be aggressive with the loans could you work 6 days the first year or two (ie could you find this much work and could your body reasonably handle these hours? Assuming that I were to enter a stipend residency and graduate D-school with around 340K in loans is this a good career option? Thank you all in advance!
