Maybe you can inspire him to come up with a business idea like that. For instance, after you bite your gum, you tend to keep biting the same spot over and over for a duration of about a week. It's painful as hell. Why doesn't he invent some kind of superglue shit that you can put on the area after the first bite, which contains nutrients to help the healing process and is tough enough to stop you doing more subsequent damage. I'd fucking buy a tin of that!
BTW, my old man worked hundreds of miles away for five years for 3K a month. Not trying to be nasty, but tell your dad, welcome to the real world and to stop being such a pussy about it. At least you've got skype, YT and email these days. All we had back then was a quick phone call.

I think the blog is a good idea. I mean, if he has 30+ years of experience he obviously knows A LOT and he could teach pre-dental students as well as people in general about how to properly care for their teeth.
There is a lot he could talk about and there is a lot that people (myself included) would like to know. For instance, I still don't know if amalgam fillings or white fillings are better and I get different responses from different dentists. Some say amalgam contains mercury, which causes problems and others say that that's completely false. I would also like to know what causes the little white spots on my teeth. I've heard it can be caused by an excess of fluoride, which again is controversial.
I don't think most dentists have time to write an informative blog so the blog idea has potential especially if the focus is on helping people help themselves.

Generate leads for him in your local area. It's that simple.
You don't turn a doctor into a marketer. That doesn't make sense. Especially for an older guy.

As someone who has bailed out both parents financially to my own detriment, I can tell you as an absolute expert that you are a fucking moron, Uber, for helping him.
Every dollar you spend on a relative amounts to 10 dollars you're losing for yourself. He got himself into the mess, he can get himself out. You're only hurting yourself if you intervene.

Run a facebook campaign targeting the teeth whitening seeking demographic. That service is about $500 bucks in a dentists office. J shoe did it in Omaha, check the blog. ROI should definitely be possible. Thank me later.
All that I think in this moment for your father is something about Local Lead Generation.
Setup a good offer for a wide service, something like this:
1) First examination free;
2) Monthly payments;
3) A prices plan for families (more users lower single price);
Go with Google Places and PPC. People are going to do more than 50 Km to save on dental care.
Just my 1 cent idea.

And you are an arrogant idiot if you think your dad didn't mismanage his money. Lol @ not being able to live on 10k/month. Looks like your dad doesn't know how to live within his means.
Hello friend,
If you good son should take care father and give him money.
No have give him all life saving. Just maybe 1 or 2 million dollars so father can retire and no have work until die for pay bills.
Good luck bro

10k a month?
Sounds like some of the dependents need to step up and pay for some things themselves or the lifestyle needs to be cut back...
I don't vision any type of dentist guru stuff beating his current income or getting near it in a short amount of time.

Hello friend,
Why not give him your $5000 1 on 1 help that you used to offer at UberCamp for free..... oh wait!
yep. but it's not that they intentionally are trying to leech off you. It's just the more you give the more dependent they become.
It's interesting there's another thread here as well about the same kind of thing. My dad's also facing some serious shit. His businesses have gone downhill and he has a big mortgage + credit card debt which he pretty much can't pay back. He's constantly worrying about interest rates (he owns a few properties and is dependent on collecting rent, that's his only income). It's a sad state to be in, he's almost 60 with no retirement in sight. I've given him probably $50k over the years. I quit college to do IM full time, but because of his situation I can't even get my own place since he needs money from time to time when he falls short.
This is why I hate the 'baller' mentality. Doesn't matter how much you make, things can fuck up 5, 10, 50 years down the line, no matter how careful you think you are.
I just got done paying the taxes on my mom's house to avoid a tax sale, Just be thank full that you can help. Diversify Multiple streams of income.... Lots of good ideas in here even if a few of them are too honest for you!
