How can a patient find their dental records if they've forgotten who their last dentist was?
You can contact your dentist's office and request a copy of your records, or you can go in person to request them. Your new dentist can also request a copy of them, but you will need to sign a release form giving your former dentist permission to release the records to your new dentist. If that's the way you go, your new dentist will have you sign the release forms, then they will send it to the former dentist for you.

"Making a good salary" implies that one is employed by another. Dentists are blessed in that they can open their own practice, run it the way they want, and reap the financial rewards and personal satisfaction that comes with ownership. So, let's rephrase the question: "How do you make a good income as a dentist?" Let me just say first, that successful dentistry is not about production, procedures, productivity, or profit. Dentistry is about people! It's how you as a dentist relate to people, it's how you communicate and motivate people. Can people trust you? Can they believe what you say? Can they respect you? And can you respect others? If you can establish and maintain trust and respect with others, you can be a successful dentist. These skills apply not only to the patients but also to your clinical staff and other employees, fellow practitioners, vendors, specialists - in short, with everyone you come in contact. When you boil it right down, a dentist has nothing but his reputation going for him. Tarnish it, have people in the community saying less than flattering things about you and your practice, and you will pay for that in lost revenue, lost productivity, and lost respect in your community. Of course, you also must love performing dental procedures for the benefit of your patients, and you must become competent and efficient in providing these services. It doesn't hurt to have some familiarity with business. After all, you are a business owner. It helps if you can read and understand a balance sheet, but this must never become the focus of the practice. The focus of the practice must always be on establishing and maintaining relationships that are beneficial to the patient and productive for the practice. The most long-term highly profitable dental practices are located in or near communities that have financially afluent citizens. This doesn't necessarily mean Beverly Hills, but areas that are senior citizen retirement communities and have relatively high growth rates. Seniors as a group have more discretionary income than anyone else. They also tend to have more dental needs than most. Focus on being of service to others, realize that your skills and training are worthy of righteous compensation, and remember that most people can afford dentistry if they choose to.
Why do dentists have the most suicides?
Think about it... who likes going to the Dentist-
You sit down in a chair petrified of the barbaric tools and white gloves-

cavities? chipped tooth?....ROOT CANAL??? no response can be good.
your gums bleed, you get injected with Novocaine that wears out too fast yet still leaves your mouth half paralyzed-
when you are finished, you stare at the evil dentist who you must actually pay for doing all this (and most often pay more than you thought bc insurance is not so generous for dental procedures)
