I had a patient come in who had serious scrapes in her mouth after seeing a "fake dentist" apparently. She found them online and went to what she thought was their office. but it turns out the person was just renting the space and DOESN'T HAVE A LICENSE. She claimed she already reported them, but is it crazy that I want to get the information from her and report them again myself? It's not about competition, she could have seriously been hurt!

I would absolutely get the information from her and report them. That's incredibly dangerous and also predatory, he's probably trying to prey on vulnerable people who need cheaper dental care. I hope your patients ok!

From what I understand, not much is done to them because they don’t have a license to go after. Many dentists have asked why the ADA doesn’t get involved with them and these “veneer techs”‘and that was the answer. Again, this is what I read. I never personally asked anyone in the ADA.

Have you ever dealt with a colleague that believes in extremely (in my opinion) outdated or even just false claims and treats them as scientific facts? I work with several older men but one of them practices "provocative therapy" as in you just play the devil's advocate with your patient and side with the negative half of their thinking. In theory I could see this working situationally, but as a whole philosophy regardless of the patient's issue I think it's ridiculous.

I want to go back to work in the dental field. I was an assistant for 10+ years. I miss helping people smile. But trying to find work that I can do within school hours is so hard!

Hello everyone I have 29 years as a dental professional in Texas. I started as a dental assistant back in 1993.

COVID opened up remote work for me, I manage eclaims, claims corrections and billing for two offices. $20 per hour, no bonuses or incentives, I know I am not getting paid enough!

I've been a dental assistant for 11 years , and I think I'm done . I feel the pay is never enough and 9/10 we do the most work in the office . It's never commensurate to what we do and no matter how much experience you have your still 3-5$ more than someone fresh out of school . It's a skill I'm glad to know that I can always find work but the burnout for nothing isn't worth it. Can anyone relate
