Living in the metropolis and practicing dentistry in the center of it all, New York City, New York is one of the most auspicious career destinations any dentist in the world would dream of. It is where both the artistic talent of the dentists and their experience in handling the most demanding patients take center stage. Being a dentist in the bustling city is a lifetime achievement: you get to serve the wealthiest of families, be exposed to the latest trends and innovations in dental technology, and optionally become a member of the New York State Dental Association, which represents to more than 13,000 dentists in New York State.
Other popular dental meetings and congregations that are held annually or have been hosted by the state include:
1. The Greater New York Annual Dental Meeting for Better Dentistry (GNYDM)
2. Nobel Biocare World Symposium
3. Annual Meeting of the American Society for Dental Esthetics
International seminars are frequently hosted at luxurious New York City hotels and convention centers, apparently making them the cornerstone of international dental meetings. Some well-known establishments that have hosted dental seminars include:
1. Jacob K. Javits Convention Center
2. Waldorf Astoria Hotel New York
3. Radisson Martinique
New York City dental professionals apparently make a living from their services, either by setting up their own clinic (which is quite expensive if you’re a new professional) or by joining dental associates. One of the richest streets in the world, Fifth Avenue and the Upper East Side, are also home to the most prestigious dental clinics. The dental population in Manhattan is also very active. And to show how savvy New York City dentists are when it comes to advertising, try looking at their dental websites and see how outlandish the design is, not to mention that they take every opportunity to get featured in magazines and newspapers.
And dentists aren’t as efficient without their trusted dental assistants, right? The profession of dental assistant is one of the best and highest paying career options in New York. Dental assistants can handle advanced dental equipment and help the most respected patients. The New York Dental Assistants Association (NYDAA) also hosts an annual session within the state and advises non-members to get involved in the cause. They offer guidelines, seminars, and most importantly, a network of dental assistants who share the same passion as each member to promote the highest technical and ethical degrees of dental assistance.
But beyond the money-oriented skyline of the city, there are still some generous dentists and organizations that allocate their free time to serve the city’s impoverished, blue-collar citizens. Community clinics and dental missions in public schools have stimulated the interest of neighboring and outlying dentists in the metropolitan area to consolidate their efforts and spare time to improve the city’s smiles, all out of goodwill.
