What People Are Saying

“A perfect gift for the dentist in your life”

What a fitting title – possibly a reference to emotional resilience, self-awareness, or reconnecting with simple joys and struggles of being a dentist and owning a small dental office.
In this brief yet impactful read of just over 100 pages, Dr. Akard weaves through personal anecdotes with amusing reflections. I finished it in one setting and I believe you will not be able to put it down either!

“The dental field is anything but mundane!”

This book is a thoughtful, funny and heartwarming view of the inner workings, triumphs and struggles of a dental practice. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

— L. Ratliff

“Relatable and refreshingly honest.”

Funny, honest, insightful, as well as toothsome.

— Mark E.

“True to Life”

“I thought the length and choice of structure was excellent. The author clearly has a knack for catching the right tone, and it made me feel like she was sitting right next to me, having a thoughtful conversation with me. She offered a lot of insights on the challenges of managing time and appointments, and the difficulties of keeping an office running. Great stories. And the thread that tied it all together was how she made the folks she worked with to be real, living people. They all became a cast of characters in an overall story.”

“It will brighten your day and your smile”

“Fun and easy to read! I may have laughed a little too hard. Everyone should read this to get a tiny glimpse of behind the scenes of a profession that probably doesn’t get enough credit. You will not put it down until you finish it!”

— C. Smith
