How about Patterson or Henry Schein Dental. This are companies, who distribute dental supply to dentist and dental laboratories. She could work as an sales rep. for any company, that distributes dental supply.
If she is willing to stay in the field, but a speciality of it, she should try opening up a cosmetic dentistry practice.
She can make a lot of income, and practise a different scope from the typical “drill and fill”.
Other options (the sales rep is a great idea) include teaching at a local university or college. She may be able to teach dental hygiene or junior years dentistry courses without a PhD in Dentistry.
Also, check with the government and local police services. They may need dentists for anything from designing public dental health promotion programs to forensic dentistry.
Lastly, she could work for a company that sells dental products, not as a salesperson, but as an inventor.
Good luck!
