How much does a pediactric dentist make?

Answer 1

I'm in the finance club in my dental school and we were given a booklet of the average income of New England dentists and specialists. It put pediatric dentists at right around $500,000 net. This is obviously before taxes. If this seems high to you visit a pediatric office, they see 4-5 times more patients than a general dentist. I know of some on the west coast that make $700,000ish. They do work their asses off though!

Answer 2

It varies with location, education, specialty, and number of hours worked. Whatever the number is, it remains to say that pediatricians make very good money. Here are some figures by various organizations:

• Medical Economics Magazine reported a range of less than $60,000 a year to up to $400,000 a year.
• In 1993, the American Medical Association reported an average of $135,000.
• Merritt, Hawkins & Associates reported a range of $100,000 to $160,000 with a starting salary average of $130,000.
• PayScale.com reports a range of $102,032 to $150,306.
• Wolfram|Alfa reports a 2007 median number of $140,700.
• Salary.com the expected median salary for a US pediatrician is $142,585

Answer 3

$250000 to $300000 depending on your location.
