Endo Saturation?

[Titus Times]

To the original question... Endodontists are not typically overworked anywhere. Usually Endodontists will charge out almost twice as much for endo than a GP. Endodontists also don't necessarily take any insurance. GPs can take welfare or private insurance and get paid half the specialists' rate in order to be held to the standard of care of a specialist. If you go to CE attended by GPs and taught by an Endodontists, apparently the divide is that GPs don't like to use RDI and don't have the optics. However, patients can afford and do need endo. Specialty saturation is not really the question I would look at for purposes of career planning. I would look at schedules and production of private Endodontist offices and compare them to the schedules and production of other GP/specialty offices. You have to work for the money no matter what you do. If you want to place/restore implants then don't be an endodontist.

Wow that was a great post.

Where do you recommend I look to find out more about the schedules and production of Endodontist, specialist and GPs

Google it. This took all of .017 seconds. 2003 AAE survey.

Well ok then cowboys lol. I did a search before I posted but I wanted your most trusted source if you'd didn't mind sharing,

Thanks for your post brown crack I think that's one of the best sources I've seen yet.

And thanks silent cool. I love that let me google that for you tool. Not so much as informative but i laughed out loud, because I got someone with the same joke before.

Titus,

Do you have a dentaltown account? You should get one. It's free. I have one. It's a great resource.

There are several threads on there about endodontics, cost of training, etc...

Also, browse Dentaltown's practice listings as well as other practice listings such as ADS to look for endodontic practices for sale. Last, contact Radman, White & Associates. They are an endo-only group of transition consultants who can answer some of your questions about profitability, cost, value of training, competition in different markets, etc..

good luck

It is very sad to see people going into specialties just based on salaries...

lettuce be cereal: that's why everyone goes into specialties. Otherwise, why would you endure 2-6 years of opportunity cost and even pay tuition? srsly.

Silent cool is very right.

Also, I'm interested in the specialty for more than salary, I know about nearly every endo procedure watched them on YouTube and in practice, as well as the lengths to do them, I know about the technologies used to perform these procedures and I am intrigued by it, endo is the fruit of why I wanted to be a dentist, my most memorable dentist visit was to get a molar root canal that took 3 visits and I enjoyed just being in the facility and talking to the dental student about what he was doing every step (that I could speak at least).

I grew up in poverty, without a dad, my children Will Not. My family will be oversupplied monetarily and time wise, you don't know me from the internet so don't assume things, about anyone for that matter.

I work hard, and I like law, but I'll be damn if I go to law school, I love acting, but I'm not moving to LA, I can dance, I can rap better than lil wayne (I swear I can lmao) I will research and pursue the lucrative and enjoyable passion that's foolproof. A lot of these guys on sdn go into 400k debt and don't know what they should make upon graduation day, as much as you'd like me to be that guy, hahaha I will not sir.

Don't judge bud, I'd recommend going to wal mart, getting the student discounted journals, and taking notes. Knowledge is power don't block my knowledge


Eat oodles and noodles all year then tell me about salary.

Thanks silent cool and all others with sound advice.

Dude your the man. I truly appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to not only find information for me but post in a such a well thought out and pleasant manner. Guys like you and others that posted are why I continue to get on student doctor network. And yes I have a dental town account, been working my way through as many articles/post as I can, between studying.

Thank you very very much sir.

Yup.

Most of these people talking about "loving" your work (or whatever) have never had a real job in their life. A profession like endodontist is a very straight-forward, practical pathway to a stable and comfortable life--one that you are very unlikely to have in other professions/fields, which are filled by people who mostly hate their work anyway.

Good choice--just don't pay tuition (or too much) for one of the residency programs.
