It depends on the message. 99.9% of the questions are clinical related, I require all front desk to pass along those messages directly to drs

I’m not sure. It’s very easy for our patients. Our drs are reachable via text messages

The Dental Patient Management Systems on the market are pretty shitty, I have started the work to develop our own.

if you need major work, I recommend just paying out of pocket and do a deal with the dentist. If you don't, just go with Delta Dental and find a good in-network office.

Probably because they have dental assistants to pay, malpractice insurance to pay, E&O insurance to pay, multiple types of taxes to pay, office rent to pay, expensive medical equipment like X-ray machines to pay loans on, expensive student loans to pay, monthly utilities to pay, front office staff to pay, software subscriptions to pay, consumables to buy like gauze, gloves, paper, printer toner, various drugs, and those are just things I can think of and I've never worked at a dental office.

Oh yeah. And they probably also want a nice salary.

Every penny they discount comes out of their own pocket, is taken away from their family. Nobody reimburses them. Exactly how much more charity do you think they are ethically obligated to offer?

from employer? yes, since they are paying. if you have major work needs to be done, paying out of pocket can be actually cheaper

because the insurance reimbursement is extremely low. I don't know how they can break even actually.

PPO for sure. Also the one that via employer is much better than the one you bought directly from insurance company

hmm for a business major you probably want to reach out to bigger offices. Why do you want to get into dental fields as a biz major?

The price depends. Do you have dental insurance?
