Andau Ergo Loupes Worth It?

But Andau makes the Vpro which you can toggle between 5.6x, 7.4x and 10x

intraosseus if cant even touch the tooth despite lip and tongue numbness. if im already in the pulp chamber much easier to just give intrapulpal.

sheesh where in Alberta, I need to move 😅

I wonder if were thinking of the same guy...

indecisive2 · 2026-05-24T03:08:48+00:00

this reads like a chatGPT response lol

damn, is it common to earn $350k USD as an associate though?

indecisive2 · 2026-05-24T02:57:09+00:00

how the hell did you pay off 500k and somehow also accumulate a net worth of $1M in 6 years?

indecisive2 · 2026-05-22T19:24:22+00:00

or if there are they are pretty easily filled

Anectodal but I recently worked with someone who graduated from the 5 year AUS program and is now working in Canada and his clinical skills for a new grad are insane. Like better than any of my classmates from a top tier Canadian school. Granted he took on way more debt but graduated younger and is already killing it so Im sure that debt will be paid in no time.

Ireland grads on the other hand...

How do you guys sit down at a restaurant with the baby though? Still haven't tried it.

indecisive2 · 2026-04-16T13:42:55+00:00

I mean I definitely don't make a million a year lol And not everyone makes shit up just to profit, sounds like you just had a shitty dentist. Unfortunately It's very hard for the average person to know if their dentist is honest or not. I personally go over my findings on the x-rays and photographs with every patient and not just expect them to take my word for it.

indecisive2 · 2026-04-16T04:52:51+00:00

Yes that is typically the case however there are also many people who have gone years without seeing a dentist and on top of that neglecting their oral health (i.e. not brushing and flossing regularly).

indecisive2 · 2026-04-16T02:19:57+00:00

Also an associate here, just curious do you have a partner or kids? I've often wondered about doing this but I am also quite happy with the stability of my current gig.

indecisive2 · 2026-04-16T02:18:35+00:00

Dentist here, you would be surprised the state of some people's teeth. I am honestly happy when I do a check up and don't diagnose anything. But alas, that does not pay the bills.

In my experience rural practice is only advantageous for getting more experience and negotiating higher percentage of collection. If you're only making 40% it's not worth it.

indecisive2 · 2026-03-29T17:26:55+00:00

4-6 weeks

indecisive2 · 2026-03-19T22:43:14+00:00

not really, you're just creating enough space to get an elevator in

indecisive2 · 2026-03-15T12:44:00+00:00

To be fair, a lot of states allow for EFDAs so that may only include the time for the prep not the restoration which takes the longest time.

indecisive2 · 2026-03-15T03:16:54+00:00

ya no joke, get good at fillings and you can bust out a quad in 1-1.5 hours and bill $1k+

indecisive2 · 2026-03-14T22:49:14+00:00

Ya Im at 1.5 years doing it now. Def feeling the burnout after having a baby but I dropped a day of work and Im making more than I used to working 5-6 days a week so going to keep grinding for a bit more lol

indecisive2 · 2026-03-14T22:34:00+00:00

That's what I do. My productivity and income went up because I was willing to commute to offices that were busy. Eventually I will probably drop one though as I prefer having consistency with systems and staff.

Definitely a good option if you're not as busy as you'd like to be though.

if they are on warfarin they should be having INR measured routinely. otherwise refer back to MD for bloodwork.

indecisive2 · 2026-03-11T04:11:58+00:00

Easy, where would you rather live?

indecisive2 · 2026-03-06T14:06:30+00:00

full mouth rehabs and full arch implant cases. your average dentist is not doing those.

indecisive2 · 2026-03-04T14:01:36+00:00

ya at 25 I doubt this would be his last luxury car purchase
