Hi Alex,
I try to reply to everyone, but sometimes I miss something, and, well, I reply 5 months later! Glad you found the blog. I felt that way at 3 yrs also, but I kept finding a way… for 7 more years! Good luck with your other career option. If you ever happen to read this comment, let us know what you plan to do instead of dentistry!

I didn’t know there were actually dentists out there who successfully left dentistry! I am one unhappy dentist! But the student debt is too high for me to leave, not for another 10 years according to my calculations. I’m counting down the days!

I don’t think I enjoyed it from day one but it has got progressively worse with me changing from post to post in the hope that I will achieve a different outcome…enjoying dentistry, and it hasn’t happened. I feel so guilty for my nurse and receptionist because I’m so unpleasant to be around at work. My moods at its lowest when I start the day because I’m dreading whats lying ahead of me each day. Sorry to be a bit of a moan about the whole thing!
Ive started to make moves towards a new career though and my evening class is the highlight of my week at the moment, I am a bit worried about going for jobs though because my CV looks so odd, goodness knows what potential employers must think when they look at my cv history compared to what I am applying for :s

That sounds perfect! You might need to wash away years of horror with some delicious red wine! 😉 I’m so happy for you. You will love it.

Ok… forget that I asked you what you were doing next in that other comment! That sounds exciting. Where will you start? Are there certain places you’re dying to visit? You should visit my blogger friend’s site– http://livelaughrv.net/

Don’t forget that this country offers many adventures. I am retiring from Dentistry (finally) and will be moving around North America in my Class A Motorhome. The adventure starts May 1st! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Hi Zeena! I’m so glad you’ve found the blog. You are not alone!! It’s great that we can get this community of dentists together who can support the pursuit of living a happy life (whether that’s in the world of dentistry, or not.) Thanks for your comments, and I look forward to hearing more from you. Let us know if you get to make any changes any time soon. (I love visiting London, btw. Great city, and in recent years I’ve made a few good pals there!)

I’ve just discovered your blog and am so inspired by your journey. I’ve been wanting to leave dentistry for a couple of years now and just knowing g that someone else has done it and is happier makes me want to go for it even more! I’m looking forward to your next posts! Zeena, London
