For dentists only: questions about dental practice?
Don't look likeyou have any answers good qyestions
Reply:I could easily answer #1 and #2, but I won't since you only asked dentists.





Questions #3 and #4 are a bit invasive and I'd be surprised if anyone was comfortable answering them in a public forum.
Reply:1. Three full time, 1 part time


assistant, office manager, hygenist, part time hygenist


2. 10 with the appointment being 45 min


3. no answer


4. I'll never tell
Reply:1. I have 2 chairside assistants, 2 "front office people" and 1 hygienist.


2. The hygienist usually sees 10 people a day. Maybe more if there are a lot of children on the schedule that day.


3. I didn't borrow anything to open the practice, as I just joined an existing practice.


4. These figures are available from the ADA or even Monster.com. There is no point in getting a half dozen dentists to reveal their income to you as it would have zero statistical significance.
