Predicting the Exit
License data is the most reliable indicator of a dentist's career lifecycle. Sudden changes in license status or failure to meet continuing education requirements often precede a rapid sale.
Key License Indicators
- Decades-long tenure approaching the statistical retirement age of 65-68.
- Disciplinary actions or board orders that may force an early exit.
- Lapses in biennial renewal indicating a sudden health event or unplanned retirement.
