Maybe AI can tell me what my dental tech skills are best suited for in a different career? Those darn lab prices are going down lower and lower and harder to compete with...

Here's your answer:

As a dental technician, there are a few career paths that may be suitable for you. Here are some options to consider:

1. Dental Laboratory Technician: This is a career path that is directly related to your training. As a dental laboratory technician, you would work in a dental laboratory and create dental prosthetics such as dentures, bridges, and crowns. You would need to have a good eye for detail and be skilled in using various dental laboratory tools and equipment.

2. Dental Sales Representative: If you enjoy interacting with people and have good sales skills, then a career as a dental sales representative may be a good fit for you. As a dental sales representative, you would be responsible for promoting and selling dental equipment and supplies to dental offices and other healthcare providers.

3. Dental Office Manager: As a dental office manager, you would be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of a dental office. This may include managing staff, scheduling appointments, handling patient billing and insurance, and ensuring that the office runs smoothly.

4. Dental Assistant: As a dental assistant, you would work directly with dentists and dental hygienists to assist with various tasks such as taking x-rays, preparing patients for treatment, and providing chairside assistance during procedures.

5. Dental Hygienist: If you are interested in providing direct patient care, then a career as a dental hygienist may be a good fit for you. As a dental hygienist, you would work with dentists to clean and polish teeth, take x-rays, and educate patients on proper oral hygiene practices.

These are just a few of the many career paths available to someone with training as a dental technician. I would recommend researching each of these options further to determine which one best aligns with your interests and skills.


As for working for a non dental job, here's what AI says:

Yes, as a dental technician, there are several non-dental related jobs where your skillset could be put to use. Here are some options:

  1. Medical Device Manufacturing: Many medical devices, such as prosthetics and orthotics, require skilled technicians to create them. As a dental technician, you may have the skills and experience needed to work in medical device manufacturing.
  2. Jewelry Manufacturing: Creating dental prosthetics requires a high level of precision and attention to detail, skills that are also useful in jewelry manufacturing. If you have an interest in jewelry design and manufacturing, you may be able to use your skills as a dental technician in this field.
  3. Ceramics Manufacturing: Dental technicians often work with ceramics and other materials to create dental prosthetics. This experience could also be applied to ceramics manufacturing, which involves creating ceramic products such as tiles, dishes, and figurines.
  4. Industrial Design: As a dental technician, you have experience designing and creating products that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. These skills could also be applied to industrial design, which involves designing products and systems that are user-friendly, efficient, and visually appealing.
  5. Technical Writing: If you have experience creating technical documentation such as user manuals and training materials, you may be able to use your skills in technical writing. Many companies require technical writers to create clear and concise documentation for their products and services.
These are just a few examples of non-dental related jobs where your skills as a dental technician may be useful. It's important to consider your interests and strengths when exploring these options to determine which one is the best fit for you.

Look for another lab-based medical product you can produce- the next trend in the DSO world is combining medical services with dental (body & oral health). Hero Practice Services is one of a few DSO's starting to move in this direction offering pediatric dental and optometry within a single location. Could mean new revenue streams for those who are prepared to shift and support dental + "body health".

From what I have learned about AI so far, if it isnt sure, it will choose the wrong answer but try to convince you it is correct.... Proving that Artificial Intelligence has met the gold standard of Human Intelligence.
