What is a typical day schedule for you in residency??

This really depends on which rotation you're at.

Right now I am on our dental school rotation where we run sedation and GA cases for the omfs/pedo/endo/perio/phobic clinics. Typical day right now is we start at about 6:30am and finish around 4pm with about 2 cases a day.

In the hospital your schedule is also very dependent on the rotation you're on as well. Usually over there you start at about 5:30am, and finish around 3pm-6pm. There are also overnight call shifts that you can be on as well.

Ive worked at two private practice peds clinics as a dental assistant and both clinics use dental anesthesiologists and they have to book them 6 months to a year in advance. The clinics were in Austin and Sugar Land, a suburb in Houston. The dentists told me the DAs charge 1k an hour so I'm sure they're doing great financially and the whole "niche" thing isn't really a problem, at least in Houston/Austin.
