I hear a lot of predental and dental students talking about why dentistry is better than medicine and one of the things that is always mentioned is medicine has "On call" while dentistry is usually not "on call." My dentist has a rotation with the other 2 Dr.'s in his office covering certain nights of the week and each getting one weekend a month, rotating out the last weekend of being "on call". Is this not the norm? do most dentists tend to leave at the end of the day and turn off the phone so to speak? I couldn't imagine having an office and NOT being on call. What do you guys know or do?
Thanks.
Thanks.
