my family have a "MANAGED CARE PLANS"
My father’s work place has given him a dental insurance for 30 dollars per month for my entire family.
I went to the insurance website it says orthodontics 1250 co pay. I am sure the treatment is for 3 years. If my father cancels dental insurance or my father moves to an another job place what happens to my orthodontics treatment does it affects my treatment or do I have to pay any extra?????
Dental insurance question?
You will have to pick up what the dental insurance did not finish paying. What happens is the dental insurance will make one lump payment of a couple hundred dollars at first and then they will make payments to the orthodontist over time till they have paid their portion. If you lose that dental insurance before they have paid the max they will you have to pay what they didn't. I am going though just that now at my sons orthodontist.
Reply:Noramlly, they want that co=pay upfront, and then they go ahead and bill the insurace. It should be ok.

Dentist and Orthodontist?
Im only in High School,but I've questioned much about a career in the Dental Fields.
Is it possible to be a Dentist and Orthodontist at the same time? i know, that basically Orthodontists are already Dentists but have more knowledge by specializing in orthodontics.
What i really mean is. Is it possible to own my own practice as an Orthodontist and Dentist.
Would this be difficult, as in busy-wise?
Would i be able to keep up the pace on my own?
Should i own a practice with a partner, why or why not?
Would i generally get payed much more by having a practice which offers Dentistry and Orthodontics?
I know i really will enjoy both of these jobs entirely, but i dont want to have to chose over one career. i really want give people both Dentistry and Orthodontics at the same time.
if someone could please answer every one of my questions, i will learn another few new thing ill be greatful of knowing, thanks.
Dentist and Orthodontist?
I have seen general dentists that do ortho (which they can legally do as long as they don't advertise themselves as "specialists") however I don't think that I have ever heard of an orthodontist that also does general dentistry. I don't think that an orthodontist would want to do general dentistry if they took the extra time and money spent to become an orthodontist. So if you become a general dentist then you can still do orthodontics. This is part of dental school, however for the really tough cases eg. surgery, major occlusion problems etc. then an orthodontist is the one that you want to see. Can it be done? I am sure it can if you decide that you want to wear roller skates, or if you can be two places at once. Being the best at something requires it's full attention. I am sure that there are orthodontists that also do general dentistry. There are dentists that do orthodontics. Now that I think about it I do know a person that does orthodontics, and pediatric dentistry. There you have it, I guess it can be done. On paper having both types of services sounds great, kinda like "one stop shopping" however being an orthodontist you can have twelve patients at a time, versus one or two where you are working on a tooth personally. Many orthodontists work out of several rooms, sometimes a big single room with ten chairs set up. They supervise the treatment, that is they diagnose the type of ortho needed, cement the brackets etc. However orthodontists use orthodontic assistants that do much of the work, such as changing bands, removing extra cement, etc. So while there is much overhead, they can also be seeing quite a few patients by overseeing what their assistants are doing. Sounds like a winner to me.
Reply:Ewwww.. why wouls you want to work with your face so close to someones mouth.... smelly breath... rotten teeth.... no thanks!
Reply:hey I dont know about the whole orthodontist dentist thing that much. I can say this though!!
practicing with a partner or with out one is only a matter of if you like to work with a partner or not. it is also about cutting costs. if you have two people working you can split the cost of the things you both use!!
I feel that once a person decides to specialize in orthodontistry he just works on that because he is good in that field, and he has enough work as it is. If he doesn't maybe he can do some work in the regular practice as well!!!
Reply:Yes, you can do both.
Any dentist or orthodontist (or dentist doing orthodontics) can be busy...once you build up your reputation and your practice.
Both pay well, again, it just depends on your practice and how "well-oiled" your staff is. You must have a team of assistants that work well with you and together to keep things flowing. Everything from greeting the patients to billing, filing insurance, your hygeinist, ortho assistants....
I strongly suggest taking several Business related courses in college that teach managment.....Because to be successful, you not only have to be able to do dentistry, you also have to know how to run your business...do marketing, etc.
Good Luck and may you have a long and happy career!

Dentist and Orthodontist?
Become a dentist. Take additional orthodontic seminars and courses.
You can definitely keep up the pace on your own. YOU control how many patients you take on! Close your practice to new patients when you have the number that you can see comfortably and ethically.
Do not get a partner unless you find someone whose values, skills and ethics mirror your own. This is extremely difficult to find.
Don't go into ortho if your motivation is money. It is a precise science and your patients demand excellence. It requires patience and skill. Speed will not be in the equation. Remember, while you are spending hours on ONE ortho patient, you are NOT performing other dental procedures.
The advantage of being able to do general dentistry
AND ortho would be the diversity of your daily routine. Less boredom. Any job can get boring if you do not engage in ongoing education, skill development and skill diversity.
I say go for it. What have you got to lose? If it makes it easier for you, you cannot get into anything you can't get out of. Don't worry. Follow your passion.

Reply:My cousin practices both. It is not easy but she felt that she was seeing so many patients as dentist who were having problems because their orthodontists weren't skilled at dentistry. she is able to do this because she is in a family owned practice where her father and brother also are dentists. I think it is doable if you have the right support. And yes, the more you can offer your patients, the more money you will make. You should remember, however, that you can only see so many patients in a day so try not to burn yourself out.
Reply:Okay, so first of all, your only in high school. you have time to think.
Secondly, you would NOT be paid more for both being a dentist and an orthodontist because you are working for the same amount of time.
In college, why don't you experiment with both, as well as with more things. You may find they are more fun then dentistry and orthodontics.
Practicing with a partner will require you to have more space, more seats, and more customers. try out alone first, and then go to partnership.
The busy wise question depends on how much money you want. the more you want, the longer your day is, and the more difficult it is.
The pace? well that is also how many customers you have.
Reply:It would be very difficult to do both, not only because of the school and because orthodontics is a highly competitive field, but your workload would be outrageous, besides the cost of the extra equipment needed for each speciality. I would STRONGLY advise against taking on a partner, if you do, make sure it's someone you can trust and OVER protect yourself legally. I imagine that you would get paid more for offering both services, but orthodontists make more than general dentists, and you could always have your partner be the dentist, or the ortho, whatever you want. It would probably be stretching yourself much too thin to be both, besides you have to keep in mind that you don't want to cheat your patients out of time they are paying for, start rushing, you start making mistakes or do shotty work and you lose your clientelle, and they are your paychecks! Either way you have to go to dental school first, so you have plenty of time to make a decision, do the research on salary in your area (google or ask.com) crunch the numbers for the loans you are going to have to take out for school expenses, business starter loan, all the background work is your responsibility if you want to own your own business! Good Luck!

I am a dentist and i want to know how i can continue my postgraduate study in Orthodontics in Australia?
i want to know more about the fees and scholarship
I am a dentist and i want to know how i can continue my postgraduate study in Orthodontics in Australia?
Post graduation in Australia for medicine and dentistry is very expensive to the tune of approx US$ 40,000/- per year which are only the tuition fees. Other costs of accomodation etc are also very high. Further the admission process is also very cumbersome. You could consider Russia as an alternative. Russia offers Orthodontics in the English medium and the admission process is much easy. A lot of foreign students have or are currently studying in Russia. The degree is recognized all over the European Union, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. You may like to visit www.beadoctor.com for more details.

Dentists on the wi-dentists network have the best
prices. For Singaporeans in the USA only.
Reply:sorry, not sure if I'm supposed to answer your question but i think you can try those government ones. i always thought private will be quite expensive.
i'm doing (i think) in NUH. :) you can try HPB (health promotion board) though the price range also quite similar to NUH. :) or Alexandra too.

Where can I go to get low cost or free dental work and orthodontics?
My husband needs dental work and my 2 daughter needs braces (1 need oral surgery before the braces) and I can't afford it. Do dentists do any free work for tax benefits or something? How do I find out who?
Where can I go to get low cost or free dental work and orthodontics?
dental students often do work for free in teaching hospitals try looking into that
