I was curious if any of ya'll (pardon my texas wording) have actually thought of the potential of money from being a dentist with lots or very specific continued education courses. I was just thinking about it after going to my dentist this week for wisdom teeth extraction (still sore). And realized he more or less made 1300 off of my family in less than an hour!
I mean, if a general dentist took courses in:
IV Sedation/Oral Sedation Methods
3rd Molar Extractions
Pediatric Dentistry
Implant Dentistry
Oral Surgery Basics (Cysts, Molars, Lesions)
Dentures
Sports Dentistry (Just read about this one, found it cool)
Orthodontics Basics
Just to name a few I saw names of while looking over the intenet. It would seem like a practice could handle most cases of anything except for things that the dentist found hard or better fitted for a specialist. I see the potential being very high in a rural area were dentist are few and specialist are fewer! What all do you think? I think high 200 low 300 is surely possible.
Btw, I do not only care about the money. I think the chance to use your hands and relieve pain (wisdom teeth again, ouch) is something very awesome with a somewhat normal practices hours (Mon-Thur 8-5, Friday 8-1) I mean it just seems like a great profession give me your ideas?
