What is this CE course all about?
Despite the myriad of benefits that dentists get to enjoy, including a high income, a less-than five day workweek, and the opportunity to be a business owner, many are miserable. This can be sourced to 3 main factors: body pain, isolation, and debt. In this one hour presentation, Dr. Gupta shares the stories of many dentists, and how they intentionally changed the trajectory of their lives.

1.5 CE Credits
Dr. Gupta graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2004. Upon completing a 1 year general practice residency in Cleveland, OH, he started a private practice in a suburb west of Cleveland. After 3-4 years of “treading water,” he shifted his focus and aggressively sought the study of core business principles, resulting in a tremendous increase in profit margin, decrease in stress, and a more meaningful professional identity.
Dr. Gupta lectures for several dental society study clubs, dental society annual sessions, post-doctoral residency programs, and several CE offerings throughout the country, ending all of his presentations with practical, realistic, implementable ways to be better.
