Do you guys think orthodontists will make more money in the future or pediatric dentists? Just curious. I'm also interested in seeing why pediatric dentists are making more money than they used to.

+1.Who cares? The only reason I can fathom you being curious is you feel a need to be in the one that makes the most money. Otherwise, i can't possibly think of a legitimate reason for wanting to know the answer to that type of question, one that no one here or anywhere for that matter can give you the answer to.
Here's the answer you need: both will make more money than 1 person needs in this lifetime.

Yes, more than one person needs but not enough to support a wife. 🙂

So when I was a kid I only went to the dentist to get sealents, flouride treatment and cleanings. I don't think my dentist made a whole lot of money on me and it's not like I brushed all the time at home.
So what does a pediatric dentist do that results in such high incomes relative to GP??
Exactly what you said above...sealants, fluoride treatment and cleanings (throw in x-rays too). It's all about volume, volume, volume. A lot of a practice's income is dependent on generating recalls. As my mentor has said, he earns what he brings in pretty much from "slingin prophy paste".
Does he do any of his own hygiene, or does he get enough DDS-only stuff to fill his time?Exactly what you said above...sealants, fluoride treatment and cleanings (throw in x-rays too).

I wish this thread would fade away...Does he do any of his own hygiene, or does he get enough DDS-only stuff to fill his time?
