The Associate Dentist Pay Cut Debate - What No One Wants To Talk About


Listen Later

There has been a big debate raging in dentistry circles around the diminishing margins in owning a dental practice and whether associate dentists should take a cut in commissions to compensate the increasing costs of running a practice.

This could have large ramifications for any clinician who has an interest in Aesthetic Dentistry because to do it well requires a huge amount of skill, time and effort.

🔍 What we’re covering in this episode:

  • The practice owners perspective
  • The associate dentist perspective
  • The origins of this problem
  • The influence of corporates and health funds
  • The numbers
  • What we can do as individual clinicians to increase our worth
  • Dentistry is a lonely job at times and it's easy to feel alone. If you're feeling that something isn't quite right with commission rates, then this episode is for you.
