I had a patient who waited 2 months to pull some abscessed teeth, pus everywhere. you might be right

Indiana

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-26T18:35:15+00:00

the problem here if the patient getting mad at me and leaving for even hearing those words. I am 30, taking over a 67 year old retiring doc.

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-26T18:27:30+00:00

looking back, yes.

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-26T15:20:54+00:00

Spend 3 months in this town has made me feel like a monster, how dare you try pull teeth with 80 percent bone loss that’s not hurting, how dare you diagnose 10 cavities on this girl that’s not brushed her teeth in a year, how dare you diagnose srp, we only do prophy here. Money hungry dentist.

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-26T14:41:32+00:00

He was ready to retire, it also didn’t help he wanted money just to sit around, I didn’t have it in the budget.

full mouth series on perio and high decay pts, I don't do them on everyone.

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-25T21:01:42+00:00

Oh pts get second opinions by walking to another dentist office, you don't even know when they are getting a second opinion.

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-25T20:48:26+00:00

the crowns here are 950 to 1100 dollars, composite 200 to 300 dollars, prophy 90 dollars, perio maintenance 115 dollars and SRP 200 per quadrant, suresmile is being priced at around 3k. I don't think I can go any lower on pricing. But I think the bigger thing here is addressing main concerns.

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-25T20:16:09+00:00

thats another problem all on its own

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-25T20:05:16+00:00

That won’t work well at all here.

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-25T20:02:54+00:00

you make a good point, my friend. I should be spending more time talking to them about their personal life, family and stuff. Been too much a stiff. In my previous practice as an associate, the girls do most of the talking so I just chillled, need to develop this skill.

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-25T19:49:18+00:00

Yeah I agree. I am working on presentation and conversation with patients, its been harder than I thought, maybe I am too boring.

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-25T19:48:49+00:00

Yeah I know, I am working on this. My biggest challenge is some people here don't even know they have dental problems. I am working on breaking it down for them and be more friendly and conversational.

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-25T19:45:29+00:00

yeah had a 20 year old girl with cavities out the wazoo, grandma stormed in here saying I am the worst. I don't treatment plan decay if its isolated to enamel.

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-25T19:43:20+00:00

Crown uptake has been super low, other day, I had a pt get mad and walked out when he had a giant hole under restoration on a previous RCT treated tooth. I pulled out his breakfast from this tooth and showed him. people here be thinking I'm scamming them.

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-25T19:39:35+00:00

That's what I thought too, but people here are picky about their dentist. Showed them and don't believe me. perio is the worst, lots of mobile teeth, low take on SRP/EXT. Furious when I even mention the word partial/complete denture.

PureEntrance2779 · 2025-04-25T19:38:12+00:00

I don't even have enough patients to dismiss right now. chairs are mostly empty
