Stepping into a new chapter with a different doctor can feel uncertain for many dental assistants. The routines you’ve relied on may suddenly change, the expectations may shift, and the comfortable rhythm of the practice can feel disrupted. Questions like why did this happen or where do I fit in now often surface, creating stress and doubt.

But in every challenge lies opportunity. While some dental assistants struggle by holding onto the way things used to be, others discover how to adapt, stay proactive, and even grow into stronger roles within the practice. With a new doctor entering the picture, there’s a chance to shape the future of the dental team, strengthen communication, and find ways to shine in the transition.
