Hello all, I recently transferred software systems from Easy Dental to Eaglesoft. I am utilizing jazz harmony for my radiographic needs but would like to switch to Eaglesoft only (to cut costs). Has anyone figured out a way to bulk transfer all these images? Is there a workaround? TIA! submitted by /u/NewVanilla2719 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Dr. Arun Garg’s master class Implant continuum is a joke. 90% of the time he is "lecturing", he is talking about his other courses or trying to sell his supplies. I feel that you could take a 1 weekend course from a different program and get more information than what he gives you in 4 sessions. The course is so unorganized, constantly changing the dates for the sessions after you've already committed. If you have to commute from out of state this presents a huge challenge with scheduling travel. They give you the option to do a virtual session which is a basically watching a pre-recorded vid ..read more

Hey guys just graduated yesterday and don’t start job until July what should I do in this down time? I’ve heard people say just relax and enjoy or travel. I don’t really have the means to travel and would like to be somewhat productive in getting ready to start “real dentistry”. Already bought a couple books to read, but other than that idk what to do. submitted by /u/Any_Examination_631 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Has anyone had any issues with any of Gargs CE courses? I signed up for his 4 part implant continuum course in Miami and attended two sessions and they were absolutely useless. First session he spent the entire time boasting about himself and barely touched on any useful clinical information. The dates for the second session were changed last minute and I had to fly in for hands on day and make up the didactic virtually. Flew in for the “hands on” second day of the second session and there was one cadaver head to “practice placing implants” for every 10 people. Flew all the way to Miami for o ..read more

Hey folks, it continues to surprise me how many dentists leave $$$ on the table by not pursuing a sale-leaseback of their facility. It's very important to properly structure real estate, especially with the amount of private equity activity in the space. Why do more dentists not pursue sale-leasebacks? submitted by /u/donraybbb [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Afternoon, I'm trying to make some extra money. Im a recently graduated dentist currently working for the military. I cannot work more hours at my dental practice (im salaried), and I am unable to moonlight or anything similar (signed a contract). Does anyone do tutoring or consulting on the side or have any recommendations? Not trying to make a huge amount more, maybe 500-1000 more a month. Thanks for your time!!! submitted by /u/OneAbbreviations5055 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I graduated last year and started part time at a private practice six months ago. It’s a relatively small practice, bread and butter dentistry only. I’ve been doing a lot of hygiene since I started, with some fillings and crowns sprinkle on my schedule. There are days where I only do one filling and the rest is hygiene. I don’t have daily minimum and take home is usually around $600-650. I was okay with it in the beginning, thought this is the way to build my patient pool. At the same time, it seems like patient population in this area generally have good oral health, and a lot of them only n ..read more

Can you use Rely X Unicem to cement Emax/lithium disilicate crowns? I work in an FQHC and this is the only cement we have. The tooth is an anterior tooth, so Emax would be more esthetic. If not, I would have to have a Zirconia crown made. submitted by /u/daein13threat [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi everyone. I am a dentist. I just found out I am pregnant(2nd child). I was wondering if female dentists who have been pregnant and working at the same time, advise what difficulties they faced? I am really worried that when i start to grow big, i would not be able to work as well. Also advise what provider stool was the most comfortable for you. Thanks a lot. submitted by /u/dentistmommy [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey I just finished my internship and I am having problems with endo. I dont know if this problem is common or not but I feel deeply disheartened everytime it happens to me and it happens to me a lot. When I am doing endo and the canals are close together I cannot appreciate which canal the file is going into. I have tried placing one file in one canal and trying to negotiate the other but most of the time I feel like I am putting both files in the same canal since I cant distinguish which canal I am putting my file into. Even using the mirror for added visibility does not help. I know it see ..read more
