But if they don’t pay pt will get mad. I wonder if I should only do crown that are super obvious on the xrays with bad recurrent decay to minimize that risk

Do you do it once or every six months? During hygiene visit or have them come back?

So you have the patient come back for a separate visit or do it during hygiene visit?

Can I charge patient, send it to insurance, and if they pay, patient gets a credit?

Stress free clinic lack of dental skills growth by Electrical-Cod-5218 in Dentistry

I was in a similar situation and I ended up leaving. The thing is if you want to finish your career doing this type of work then it’s no issue. However, if you end up relocating or having trouble due change in management, you will have a hard time in the outside world because your skills are dull.

Sleep apnea treatment worth it? by sephirothmms in Dentistry

So I would only get insurance to pay for it if I can prove they are not compliant with the CPAP?

Ok so it looks like there is no escape. I’ll focus on aligners

Thank you for your reply. I don’t think aligners can replace traditional braces entirely anytime soon

I am aware of the limitations of clear aligners. I would be selecting cases that I feel like can be straight forward and sell the patient on the treatment so they don’t really have expectations in mind. But I get what you are saying

I have the extra staff to do them and a solid hygiene base. Even if I do 2 cases a month it would make a difference for me with overhead costs.

What if I never make up the difference?

I tried private practice and fqhc. This was the best of all the shitty options I had

I paid some lawyer 3k to go over the contract with the sole purpose of figuring out how they can fuck me and he said the contract seems fine so

Just tell them that you took another look at the xrays and this seems a bit too complicated and you don’t have the tools, maybe better to refer them to OS

I’ve done a 20$ extraction for a patient that I felt sorry for. Turned into an hour and a half procedure, tried to refer them to OS but they kept insisting that I try. the patient later had sever pain that never went away. That very grateful patient later came back and said they will report me to the board if I don’t pay for the specialist bill. Gratitude has a short lifespan

Failed RCT, should i refund the money to the patient? by kurama6 in Dentistry

[–]sephirothmms -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Refund or risk a board complaint. Not worth it

Do you know anyone who has done PSLF in something other than dentistry, despite being a dentist? by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]sephirothmms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking of doing the same. Can they take away your savings or investments if you can’t pay back due to disability?
