What does a fulfilling dental career actually look like—especially when you want both professional growth and a life outside the office? 🦷✨
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Anna Morris, a general dentist and mom, to talk about mentorship, leadership, and building a career in dentistry that truly fits your life.
Dr. Anna shares her journey from graduating at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine to discovering her passion for general dentistry after initially considering oral surgery. We dive into how working in a collaborative dental practice helped her grow clinically, build confidence, and find long-term career fulfillment.
We also talk openly about balancing dentistry and motherhood, including what part-time work looks like in a supportive practice, how she structures her days between patient care and administrative responsibilities, and why finding the right work environment matters just as much as compensation or procedures.
This episode highlights the power of mentorship in dentistry, leading by example, and cultivating a positive team culture. Whether you’re a dental student, new grad, or practicing dentist questioning what your future could look like, Dr. Anna’s story is an encouraging reminder that success doesn’t have to follow a single path.
🎧 Perfect for: dental students, associates, working moms in dentistry, and anyone searching for sustainable work-life balance in a dental career.
