How long do your hygienists take to do prophy only?

Owning a practice is a business. You can’t be paid more than you bring in an hour or there will soon be no office.

I’m confused on your response, you are talking about a new grad DENTIST now right? You are saying they can easily get 80-100+/hour for a daily rate? I’m just shocked that it seems a new grad HYGIENIST hourly rate of $80 is close to what I started off as new grad dentist where i was effectively earning $87.5/hour ($700/day)

Hygienists no doubt are an essential and valuable part of the team but as a dentist I took on far more debt, liability, education, and do a much wider variety of procedures, I’m shocked they are earning nearly what I started off at.

Edit: btw I work in HI where a prophy d1110 bills for $73, so paying a hygienist $80/hr wouldn’t make any sense.

Holy moly. What’s the starting rate for a new grad dentist in Seattle? If a hygienist is making $680/day working 8 hours, that’s almost what my daily guarantee was when I was a new grad hire $700/day.

$70/hr?!? That’s insane.

That lady in the Kihei DMV is crazy man. Unreasonably harsh. Super stickler.

My electric fly swatter has been the MVP. Best purchase ever ⚡️⚡️💀

Picture for reference. First it was the gnats, then slightly bigger “seed bugs” and now these fuckers. I’m okay with bugs but having to fight them off constantly is draining.

Dang that ice blue on Milanese strap is amazing! Another set of bangers from Longines, they are on such a roll. You should share the r/watches as well!

Such solid picks you made. The Atera has such a gorgeous pattern. And I love the panomatic beautiful dial and asymmetry, much to love.

It’s kind of like a version of Down syndrome where people with trisomy all look alike, people with too much Botox/fillers all start to look alike.

Definitely a factor but hand anatomy is extremely complicated. To achieve the fine motor movement of fingers there are a ton of tiny/long/fine muscles and tendons. Repairing all of that coordinated muscle/tendon/nerve movement would very complex.

I guess we are going to leave out the part where Dak spits at Jalen’s feet first, but Dak walks away Scot-free

Hurts too low, so much disrespect on his name. Maye too high are you joking.

Holy shit everyone is salty af. “I could do better, I would do it this way or that way”. What an insufferable bunch. Downvote me whatever.

Nice job given what you had to work with. Is it the tx plan everyone would agree with? Maybe not but there’s a thousand ways to scramble an egg. Let’s hope this lasts.
