Dentist Working Conditions
Most dentists work 4 or 5 days a week. Some work evenings and weekends to
meet their patients’ needs. Most full-time dentists work between 35 and 40
hours a week, but others work more. Initially, dentists may work more hours
as they establish their practice. Experienced dentists often work fewer
hours. Many continue in part-time practice well beyond the usual retirement
age.
Most dentists are solo practitioners, meaning that they own their own
businesses and work alone or with a small staff. Some dentists have
partners, and a few work for other dentists as associate dentists. Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2006-07 Edition
