title: Insurance: a dynamic process.
abstract: From graduation to retirement, insurance plays an important part of a dentist's professional and personal life. The intent of this article is to offer an overview of the needs and solutions for obtaining coverage. This article is not advice for a practitioner's personal choice of insurance purchases but is only a discussion. The framework of the discussion will be the four stages of dentistry: beginning a career, starting a practice, enriching a career, and preparing for retirement.
