[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can not argue against the fact that there has been to significant increase in reimbursement from insurance companies.

If cost of everything including education has gone up but you're still getting paid the almost the same as 20 years ago, then your personal income is going down.

Delta dental pays $36 for a dental cleaning code, same as 20 years ago.  The person cleaning your teeth has gone from $36 to $70/ hour now so the dentist is eating the extra cost.  TRUST ME on this, its our reality.

I would not send my kids to dental school.

For those who are wondering, average dentist salary is still at 150k, same as it was 2010.  Yes there are some that make more but the AVERAGE is 150K, no way around it.  [/quote]

Eh! But around here they have the volume to make up for it. My dentist office of 20+ years have moved to a larger, nicer building and if I miss an appointment it's very difficult to reschedule or get another one for months. Their practice is only growing and the most 'complicated' thing they do is fillings.

In the long run, I don't see any profession (e.g. Accounting, Law, Medicine) that has a moat (regulatory, legislative or other roadblocks that prevent anyone from plying their trade) as being a bad bet. [/quote]
