Britt Baker explains why she is stepping back from dentist work.
The DMD, who has grown to become one of the most popular stars in AEW, spoke on this topic during a recent interview on the Jon Chuckery Show. Baker admits that balancing her busy AEW schedule with the dentistry was becoming too much.
With the ever changing and every growing schedule with AEW, it was getting really hard to manage because I don’t want to be calling off last minute at the dental office all the time if Tony [Tony Khan] needs me for something for a TV taping or to go do media or an event. I hold myself accountable to be available for those types of events because I’m one of the faces of AEW and I want to be available for everything like that. Unfortunately, that means…I don’t want to say closing the door, but I’m definitely taking a step back from dentistry.
Baker adds that she doesn’t think it’s very fair to be canceling on her patients all the time due to her AEW commitments. Despite the step back, she reveals that she is still at her office three-four times a month.
It’s not fair to be canceling on patients all the time if something else popped up and it’s not fair to the staff. My staff is absolutely fabulous at the dental office, I love them to death. I’m still there a few times a month to check in on my old patients to make sure everyone is okay. I don’t really accept any new patients just because it was getting really tricky to navigate the waters of fans coming into the dental office and not really knowing who is there to be a patient and who is there to get an autograph and picture. It’s fun, but at the same time, it gets frustrating for my staff when they are there to see patients and keep a successful practice going.
