Hey guys, even though I am just a Pre-Dent and have 2 more years left in undergraduate study... I've got a not-so-common question for you all...
Does anyone have experience in owning a practice with their husband/wife/S.O.?
What are the potential advantages to this? Potential disadvantages? Potential combination of specializations, etc? Please let me know your thoughts..
Some background on me: The reason why I ask this, my girlfriend and I both want to be dentists and have both taken our DAT together. We plan to go to dental school together, and so if things work out over the next couple of years, we will be in a Class of 2022, at some dental school. Just curious as I have never seen or even met a 'dental couple' that worked a practice together. She is very adamant about going into pedo, I am not so sure about specializing. Haven't seen enough GP work to say if I would be inclined to go that route, haven't even done a filling, so I know to not really think about it all too much.
