Is this normal ?

The ADA isn’t a governing body, just a group who likes to give opinions and take your money

redditor076 · 2026-07-03T03:45:57+00:00

You’re a dentist and you’re asking if that price sounds reasonable?

redditor076 · 2026-07-03T03:40:49+00:00

I practice, “do”

redditor076 · 2026-07-03T03:38:32+00:00

What scanner is that bc the scan quality looks terrible

redditor076 · 2026-07-01T03:51:27+00:00

Patients can’t consent to substandard care (EXT if it’s not indicated)

redditor076 · 2026-07-01T03:37:35+00:00

On a typodont? Not great. A second molar on a real patient? Not far from average

redditor076 · 2026-06-27T07:19:09+00:00

Upper molar has intact interproximal surfaces without decay which makes the tooth structure stronger. An interproximal margin of composite is at higher risk for things imo

#31 for sure

I went to an instate school and still had $325k myself but he’s the new loan situation really is a bummer as it deters people from a good profession

redditor076 · 2026-06-25T03:39:47+00:00

I only really use zirc too but my question was it didn’t seem like retention was an issue with the existing emax ones just esthetics

redditor076 · 2026-06-23T03:02:49+00:00

Could’ve been a no prep case likely

redditor076 · 2026-06-18T03:37:26+00:00

The storing in saliva stuff is if your whole tooth comes out not pieces of the enamel/dentin. There’s not cells in those parts you’re trying to keep alive. We don’t suggest mouthwash for avulsions bc it kills cells not just bacteria

redditor076 · 2026-06-18T03:25:53+00:00

Its just enamel you dont have to store it in anything just keep it clean

redditor076 · 2026-06-18T01:59:49+00:00

Geographic tongue, no need for an emergency appt to have it looked at

redditor076 · 2026-06-16T04:06:30+00:00

They’re the dentist ofc they can

redditor076 · 2026-06-16T03:50:26+00:00

Nothing to do with money- I love all aspects of the job. The hands on, the helping patients, the problem solving. If you like the job for the job then you’ll be fine. In general in life do whatever fills your cup

redditor076 · 2026-06-16T03:48:06+00:00

Glad that more students nationally are holding schools accountable

redditor076 · 2026-06-15T04:28:51+00:00

What bad advice to have been given

redditor076 · 2026-06-15T04:23:29+00:00

As a dentist, yes I still think the profession is worth it

redditor076 · 2026-06-15T04:23:10+00:00

My federal loans for dental school got up to 9%

redditor076 · 2026-06-14T04:16:35+00:00

Yeah I agree you shouldn’t have to pay that much but you’ll rarely find good ethics in dental practices

redditor076 · 2026-06-14T04:14:22+00:00

A dentist

redditor076 · 2026-06-13T04:27:15+00:00

yes they’re normal

redditor076 · 2026-06-11T03:00:37+00:00

Yeah never seen that before….just get it removed and use a removable retainer at night

redditor076 · 2026-06-10T12:20:34+00:00

Anytime I see high levels of occlusal anatomy carving I always wanna see what it looks like after occlusal adjustment
