I just hate being there awake having people working in my mouth. It's torture to me!

Sounds charming.

No cavities! "Your teeth are in perfect health." they said. 'nuff said.

and then he'll reap in profits by saying - oh looks like you need a denture/implants. That is far more lucrative than cavity fills.

Do oral surgeons pay a lot for referrals?

dentist can be oral surgeon. My dentist was also an oral surgeon and he does it all, including braces and cleaning. IMO - that's not a real profitable way to run the business.... oh well. I don't go to him anymore. I go to my gf's office for free.

Oh, you're lucky!

That's right, my mom had a dentist like that too. I'd forgotten. He was also a licensed anaesthesiologist I can't imagine how long he must have been in university!

damn... sucks to be him... some dentists are just not business-oriented. my gf's uncle is also a dentist and hired her as well. I don't know about you but I've never heard of a lucrative dentist raking in over few million dollars per year. he owns 4 condos (2 in Miami, 1 in NYC Central Park, 1 somewhere)... and lives in a million dollars mansion near me. At his office - it's 1 oral surgeon, 1 hygienist, 1 technician (x-ray/radiology/whatever), and 2 dentists (my gf and himself). Now that's business....

Dentist like yours is probably a kind friendly fellow who takes a great care and pleasure in what he's doing. Probably knew patients by names instead of $$$. That's the kind of man I like and that's why I like my old dentist. Maybe when we break up - I'll go back to him.

Since my first visit to his office, I've been very impressed with it, starting with the fact that his staff are very well trained in how to communicate with deaf/hoh in a town where most people don't even know what that means.
