E74: My Thoughts on Continuing Education for House-Call Dentistry

Embarking on a journey to become a house-call dentist is not about obtaining a specific certification but about gaining hands-on experience and a passion for improving patient lives. The initial stages can be daunting, yet offering simple services such as at-home denture adjustments can significantly enhance patient care. It is crucial for dentists aspiring to provide house calls to recognize the value of continuous learning, even though no single Continuing Education (CE) course will officially qualify them to offer such services. Being a lifelong learner is invaluable, further augmented by mandated CE requirements that ensure professionals stay adept.

Upcoming conferences provide fantastic opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals and enrich one’s expertise. The recently canceled SCDA conference, now rescheduled for March 2025, represents an excellent chance to engage with groundbreaking topics in hospital, geriatric, and special needs dentistry. Additionally, the National Mobile and Teledentistry Conference in March next year offers unique insights tailored specifically for mobile dental professionals. For those preferring the digital route, online CE courses are a viable, affordable alternative—conveniently accessible from home.

Running a successful dental house-call practice requires more than just clinical skills. It's about understanding the business side of this niche and seizing learning opportunities that align with personal and professional growth. This is why the Dental House Call Practice Academy was created, designed to guide aspiring house call dentists through establishing their practice. It encapsulates the knowledge needed to model a fulfilling career in this dynamic field, rooted in a commitment to continuous improvement and patient care excellence.
