Anyway, I really don't care too much what ASPEN or Medi mills, etc. do. I've come to expect this from the field I'm in and I just put my head down and do my work and get by just fine. When days are slow, I look at funny pics online, talk to friends and check out these forums and others. I post what I feel like but I'm not going to do any extensive research on what I say...not publishing papers here...just writing posts on an old student board I used when I was a pre-dent. Take my opinions for what their worth, sometimes relevant, usually just complete crap drummed out of boredom.
Be a health profession or not, how much can people shop around theyre dental care? And its more than slipping in a bleach which is still fraud. Dentists will leave patients with half done work, they make crap implants now and make money repairing later
You dont count your patients based on what time of procedure you are doing its based on individual contacts but increasing gross is more then trying to pass off a few fake patients
I'm laughing if you think youre coming out of dental school like dr 90210 and making a million bucks off bleaching and sales. If thats your angle the markets where there is more disposable income you wouldnt survive. Do a perio residency and spend some years developing implant and proshto skills then you are doing aesthetic. Go sell bleaching trays online. And every general dentist does implants, even if they suck, so you arent getting people with your awesome gold cap practice. And you should be dipping into OMFS with IV and extractions
They have like 6 new dental schools so you guys can stop dividing up patients I wouldnt pay you to brush their teeth
Orthos dead too, peds is good but dumb,
