Price of gas this morning:
http://tinyurl.com/99oxv It was down another penny this afternoon. The trend shows the price going down..........down........down. Bush got blamed for the spike in gasoline prices after Katrina (because of damage to the refineries) so I guess he has to get credit for the $1.10/gallon drop in prices since late summer. Thanks George! |

They don't know enough to take a look at the gas prices during the last year or two, and factoring in inflation, see that there was a huge net increase. |

I don't want them "selling" dentistry just to pad their bonus checks. And now you know why dentistry is so damn expensive. Every hour that I'm open, I have $80 in salaries and benefits to pay out. And that doesn't include fixed overhead, lab bills, dental supply bills, and insurance. It costs $250/hr to run the average dental practice...plus lab bills. If someone cancels last minute or is a no-show, I don't charge them. Most dentists do in order to help cover the $250/hr overhead. |

Sounds a bit low for the medical field. Yes. National average, for my size office (3 operatories). That's a half a million in expenses per year. That sounds low to you? |
Wahooo!!!
It costs $250/hr to run the average dental practice...plus lab bills.

That sounds low to you? Shucks, many doctors pay that *just* for insurance. But if you take that off, the average is notably higher AFAIK. Maybe more man-hours sunk into stupid crapola like HIPAA compliance and coding for Medicare reimbursements. All that has to be paid for. DSK |

My hygienist earns $38/hr plus 3 weeks paid vacation, paid holidays, matching pension plan, and health insurance. That's an $85k/year compensation package (based upon a 40 hour week...but she only works 32 hr/week) for a lady who spent two years in hygiene school after high school. My assistant earns $20/hr and all the same benefits. Not bad for someone with one year of assisting school after high school. This may seem exorbitant to you, but it did it occur to you that they have to live in an expensive area? You'v bragged about how many millionaires liver there. Compare their standard of living to your own, you may not find it so lavish. In some parts of the country, living expenses & taxes are so high that $85K/yr is barely above the poverty level. Any less, you'd have to move. But dental fees aren't that much higher down here. It costs $250/hr to run the average dental practice...plus lab bills. Is that a national average?
