I'm curious to see how most of us stumbled into the dental field. Here's my story...
I applied for a driver position online not knowing exactly what i would be delivering.
The company called me to show up the next day to an address so I went. It happened
to be a denture lab. I delivered 20-30 dentures a day to different doctors in the area. We
also did some lab work for one local lab as well. I was there so often I got to know the whole
staff pretty well. The owner and his son really liked talking and joking with me and ended up
offering me a job there doing random things office, deliveries, etc. so I happily accepted. My
boss now (James) was a tech in that lab and he had a side business selling dowel pins, c&b boxes
and a couple of other items. So, James asked me if I'd be interested in answering his business
cell phone and he'd pay me for helping him out...sure no problem. When the lab we were working
at changed owners heads started getting chopped really fast. I had only been there 2 years so I was
pretty sure I was going to get cut & I did. James offered me a full time position doing sales calls and
shipping orders so I gladly accepted. Most of you will be surprised to know that TD Dental Supply started
as a 2 man operation literally shipping orders out of James garage at his home. Him & I have worked REALLY HARD
to make this company what it is today! I think we've done a great job considering how this company
started out and neither one of us had any business experience.
