Describe two or three areas of job satisfaction and two or three areas of job stress you can expect for working as a dentist?
Dentist??????
Benies: Painless shot appreciation, understanding financial concerns, Actual craft, general enjoyment of working with people that seem like old friends.
Stresses: Front office staff (incorrectly scheduled appointments), I guess insurance companies would be a stress, but I am happily no longer a "preferred provider" all but one insurance company, therefore, that is no longer a stress. Most stresses happen due to lack of communication, so I make sure I communicate very well.

Dentist????
how much do dentist make?
orthidondist?
i am thinking about becoming a dentist or doctor in the NAVY any advice which one is better?
Dentist????
Big difference in the military and private civilian practice. Go in the Navy to get your education then leave and go into private practice.
Dentist and orths make a good living at least $100,000 but Medical malpractice insurance takes a big chunk out of it. But they still have a good life.
Good luck to you.
Reply:Either one is good, but I'd go Air-Force
Reply:Military medical personnel are Officers and make whatever every other Officer in that Paygrade with the same time in service makes, although there may be bonuses available to stay in. But either way, it's a LOT less than the potential you could make in the civilian community.
Keep in mind though, that the Navy generally does NOT train you in these fields, you must already be Board certified to practice, although you may be able to do your Internship in the Service.

I make around $3000 a day as an implant dentist.
Dentist's earnings vary according to location, type of practice, and the individual's number of years in practice. Dentists who specialize, such as oral surgeons and periodontists, and those who work in large urban areas generally have the highest earnings. Nationally, according to ADA, the estimated median net income of general dentists is $177,340. A median net income of a specialist like an orthodontist is $300,000 or more a year.

I know Army, Navy and Air Force offers Health Professions Scholarship Program. It helps to pay most of your dental tuition and living expenses and in return, you have serve 3-4 years for them. Here is the link for more info:

Reply:go to dental school they can train you they pay you a certain mount of money after your service in the armed forces. they pay you so you can go to college.
Reply:I can tell you that for a dentist in private practice it depends on alot of things. They have to set their prices to make sure that they cover all their office expenses such as advertising, salaries, supplies, utilities, malpractice insurance, continueing ed, lab bills, bonuses and numerous other expenses. After all that is payed they can pocket the rest. So it really depends on how much over head they have and how high/low they set their fees.
I will say this, my dentist has a brand new Mercedes with a $1,800.00 a month car payment. But he works his butt off and deserves it.
Reply:The dentist i assist averages $80,000...a MONTH
no joke, big pracitce
Reply:Do it because you are interested in it, not because of the $$$ issue. :)
Reply:First of all, dentists are doctors. Most of us have the degree of "D.D.S." (Doctor of Dental Surgery) or "D.M.D." (Doctor of Dental Medicine). Like physicians, we hold licenses to prescribe schedule II drugs (e.g. oxycodone and other addictive medications). Only podiatrists, perhaps, can do this as well.
Concerning income, it can vary dramatically. Obviously, dental specialists make significantly more...in some cases twice as much.
Even among general dentists, income can vary greatly. Owners of large group practices typically make a killing. Yet, some solo-practices do particularly well for various reasons. Regardless, you will rarely encounter a general dentist in private practice more than three or four years making less than $150k.
I would surmise that on average, general dentists in private practice make something over $200k a year.
If you work in the Navy, however, you won't make that. You'll work for much less. Of course, you will also have an easier patient load and won't have to deal with the business side of your practice.

Dentist....?
I am thinking of taking my son to his first dental appointment. He is 2 1/2. He has a full set of teeth, and has never had any problems with them. I haven't seen any cavities, and we brush twice a day. Now is this age to early when there seem to be no problems, or should we take him anyway??????
Also, should we go with a ped. dentist or a regular dentist?? I have seen a lot of reviews, and have noticed that most people think that they are a joke.
Last Question... Anyone have any advice for if we do take him... like how to make it easier on ourselves.. Our son does not like to be held down or made to stay in one place for very long~ like most kids his age... If you can, please answer all three... Thanks to everyone.....
Dentist....?
Yes you should take him, I thave taken both of my children to ped. dentists at age 2 with fab results they love the dentist, my daughter (4) fakes tooth pain so she can go (not good) they love their teeth cleaned. Everyone I know hates reg dentists for children they tend to be rude %26amp; not handle the children well. While ped dentists if there is a problem know exactly (as they only see children) what to do %26amp; how to handle things. My childrens dentist has 2 nurses and the dentist per child plus IO can watch what is going on on the TV in the lobby so you dont interfer *** children are more scared at dentist w/ mom in the room.
Reply:AAPD now recommends that every child at age 1 should see a dentist. I suggest you take you child to a Pediatric dentist These professionals are specially trained to handle children Additionally take your Children to the dentist before the actual problem arise Report It
Reply:My son is 3 and just went to the dentist for the first time. He loved it! My son, like yours, hates sitting still and being held down, they talked to him and told him exactly what they were going to do and what every tool was. I recommend a Peds dentist, they handle kids more and know what makes them happy. I would say take him anyways, just so he can get used to the dentist and if he does ever have problems (God Forbid) he would be used to going. Try to explain to him beforehand, what is going to happen, so he's not surprised. Good Luck!
Reply:Research the dentist before going. Try getting a referral from a friend. It is so important that their first visit is a good one. My daughter had a bad exper. with a Ped. Dentist, and is now terrified (they strapped her down, then put her to sleep to work on her). My son had a different female Ped Dentist and had a wonderful experience. He will let anyone look at his teeth now and drill or whatever. He trust them. Early positive exposure is good, even if it's just sitting in their chair and meeting them. Good Luck!
Reply:First...no it is never to early to get him into a dentist.
Second...take him to a ped dentist...they seem to be better with kids and if he does have a cavity they will probably send him to a ped dentist anyway.
Last...if he likes to brush his teeth and show them off just keep telling him that the dentist are going to be brushing his teeth with some special toothbrushes to make them nice and clean and shiny so he can show them off to everyone.
Reply:Do it now, when everything is good, this way he won't be upset later on if he has problems.
If you can find a pediatric dentist, try them, if not, you want a dentist who sees kids regularly - and sees them as young as your son. You want someone who will be patient with him, as well as not stress him out. This is why you want someone who either only sees kids or sees a lot of them - they'll know how to make it quick and not stressful.

Dentist..........................
I went to the dentist yesterday and found out I have cavities in all four of my wisdom teeth. All four of them are out, and my dentist(who does difficult extractions) has advised that its best for me to get them pulled. I'm so sad of going to the dentist and getting my teeth pulled. I havent had one pulled since I was 7 years old and I'm now 21 years old. I'm getting two pulled at a time. I'm so nervous and scared, I havent even scheduled the apt yet.. Does it hurt? Do you feel anything? Pain, Pressue, WHAT? I'm so nervous. Please help.
Dentist..........................
It's probably best to have all 4 out at once. I know it's certainly cheaper sedation-wise. Has s/he referred you to an oral surgeon?? Most of the time when Wisdom Teeth are extracted, you are sedated, or put to sleep so you shouldn't feel a thing. Depending on the position of your roots, you may have pain and discomfort for a few days after. Follow your doctor or oral surgeon's recommendations after surgery and you should be fine.
Reply:Call your dentist and tell him your fears. He can give you something to help you with your anxiety.
Also see if he offers either Nitrous or IV sedation. If he does you will be out, and wont care.

Dentist.....?
A man and a woman met at a bar. They started getting along really well and they decide to go to her place for a drink.
Some drinks later, the guy took off his shirt and washed his hands. He then took off his socks and washed his hands.
The woman looked at him and said, "You must be a dentist."
Flabbergasted, the guy responded, "Why yes! That's amazing; how did you know that?"
The woman replied, "Real easy. You keep washing your hands."
One thing leads to another, and they go to bed.
After the lovemaking, the woman remarked, "You must be a GREAT dentist!"
The doctor was very surprised, and said, "Yes! Yes! I sure am a great dentist. Wow! You amaze me! And how did you know THAT sweetheart?"
The woman says: "Easy. I didn't feel a thing."
