Here are 3 Big Reasons Why:
1. There is a lack of dental hygiene job opportunities. No wonder the home based business industry is becoming so appealing. I know of at least two Hygienist that where thrown into the unemployed status because their dentist retired and the new dentist choose not to hire them. These were hygienist that were loyal to the practice to that dental practice for over 15 years. I can only imagine how they feel. The dental hygiene job opportunity is getting scarce and hygienists are very nervous about this fact. There is an abundance of dental hygienist and benefit cutbacks are soaring. Many hygienists are unable to find work. This is very disappointing to newly graduate hygienist, recently unemployed hygienist and hygienist looking to increase work hours.
2. Burnt Out: Dental hygiene is a rewarding career but some hygienist find the work repetition and exhausting after a while. Physical Challenges: Carpal tunnel and back pain, seem to be the most common culprits that affect the livelihood of dental hygienist. Some hygienist are forced to work less hours in order to cope with the situation or worst yet have to leave the profession altogether and find a new work that isn’t as physically challenging.
3. They want the time and finances so they can stay home and nurture their growing kids. Mothers long to create special memories with their children. Fact is, a 9-5 job can really put a plug in that dream. I know, I had to work 5-6 days a week while my kids were young. Most of the time because I was a single Mom holding down the fort. Problem was I wasn’t physically present with my kids as much as they or I wanted. Before I knew it they were adults. I regret not being able to create those special moments due to the fact I did not have the time to spend with them…

It is a lucrative endeavor when operated with purpose and dedication and a strong support team. Here are some of the benefits to becoming your own boss by starting a home based business. There are many home based business opportunities to choose form. Be sure to choose one that you would enjoy.
- Ability to create your own desired income: You can work full time or part time based on your income goals. You don’t have to depend on a job opportunity , you create it for yourself! Many working hygienist start a home based business to earn extra income perhaps to save money for retirement, to supplement their income, to take family vacation, to earn extra cash for their children’s hobbies and sports) or work a full time home based business to replace their dental hygiene income.
- Flexible Hours: You can decide the hours you will work, full time or part time hours. If you have children you won’t have to struggle between going to work or missing you child’s school play. Taking time off for personal matters won’t be an issue. Many hygienists that want to become a stay at home moms will work in the evening when their spouse gets home or while their children are at school allowing more quality time with the kids. You can still practice dental hygiene and work your home based business during your spare time.
- Free Training: Home based business opportunities are structured to provide you with free training in the areas of self-development, business skills, and coaching to help you run a successful business.
- Meet New People: Gives you a reason to get social whether it is to get more exposure for your product and service or to simply meet new people while building new relationships. Perhaps find a new business partner, someone you’d enjoy working with.
- Tax Right Off: Keep more money in your pocket during tax season. As a home based business owner you are entitled to some special tax benefits.
- Business supplies credit (ex. Pen, paper, computer, printer purchases)

- Home office deduction: A percentage of your mortgage or rent can be deducted if you have a room in your home that you use solely for the purpose of running your business. Repair expenses for that room can also be deducted.
- Utility Expenses: Such as electricity, heating, phone, internet expenses
If you are looking to take on the expense of more college courses or trade skills to establish a new career, to settle for a job that you are over qualified for and underpaid, or if you like being at the mercy of your employer then the home based industry may not be for you. But if you mostly want to take charge of your financial well being, want to create security in your life, you long for time freedom so you can travel or spend more time with your family /friends, interested in personal development and have a coachable attitude, then you could dive right into a home based business with confidence.
