September 21, 1987 I opened my Todays Dental office in Phoenix, Arizona. I graduated on May 11 and it took 133 days to find a place to rent, build out a dental office and open, just 28 days before the day so terrible, it will forever be known as Black Monday. On October 19, 1987, the stock market collapsed 22.6%, the biggest one-day percentage loss in history. My three new employees; an assistant, hygienist and receptionist all panicked and said, “What are we going to do?” I laughed and said, “Are you kidding me, people will still have teeth and need a dentist a million years from now.”
