Last week, I went to the dentist for the first time in about 8 years. I thought I for sure needed a root canal because of extreme sensitivity in my bottom right third molar. As it turns out, I grind my teeth at night and actually knocked out a filling on my top second molar. My dentist replaced the filling in under 15 minutes today. Do I have to worry about the grinding causing a lot of sensitivity? I already have a night guard.

He works like a slave for $90k in a profession that requires a lot of education. Seems like a pretty terrible outcome for someone who probably had their life together for the first 3 decades. He definitely should career change though but is too much of a pussy.

It's so variable. Some of the biggest showoffs make like 110K. And some big crooks make like 400K. Rarely will you see a dentist cross the 500K mark. And if he does, his overhead is huge and he maybe nets like 450K. But again, these are some of the more unscrupulous dentists.

Yes. But that's because the field fucked itself over. Insurance will kill dentistry before large corp DSO's. Higher rents, higher prices and overhead will kill dentistry as a small business. Only DSO's can shoulder the cost.

Sure it is. My dentist billed insurance like $250 to replace a filling and it took him less than 10 minutes to do. The second I sat in the chair, the hygienist shoved a cue tip with lidocaine in my mouth and about 3 minutes later, the dentist numbed me up. A couple minutes later, he drilled & filled. I actually enjoyed the experience.

All cavities need to be treated, but some are able to be repaired with fluoride and brushing. Once the decay hits the pulp, you need to drill. Early stages can be repaired with a filling, later stages require a root canal, and the latest stages require an extraction.

"Pre-cavities" are marketing flame, though. You either have decay or you don't.
