Today we are so proud to have a guest with a firm position in Irene’s top 8, a mother, and an entrepreneur keeping it together in the pandemic, Summer Lewis! Summer talks us through the early days of absolutely despising sharpening tools as a dental student, working as a dental assistant, and eventually founding her own business in 2018. Today, Ms. Lewis runs Diamond Sharp, a drive-up, same-day dental instrument sharpening business. Catch her and her team driving the blue van around Toronto and pretty soon, all over the US!
As a regular of Diamond Sharp, I can say confidently that the cost and timeliness of their services are a no-brainer for any dental office. Her team is super nice and they are extremely reliable, especially in a pinch!
We ask Summer these questions and much more:
- Should dental students graduate knowing how to sharpen tools?
- Can I work in the dental field without working in an office?
- What is the best way to sharpen dental tools?
- Can the Diamond Sharp bus be turned into a travelling karaoke club?
