Is that a 🙂 or a 👿 ?
If you work for the business 'owner' then you make a good salary, but when you own the business, and want to make it better, you are paying out big time.
My bro is going through massive stress with his decision, and they are expecting their first child. Lots to take in suddenly going from self employed to having a practice and employees.
My NHS dentist as a kid ended up having to retire with chronic back problems.
Got two close friends (married couple) who are dentists and seem top notch at their job (take my kids to them) and own their practice. Two expensive cars in the drive, beautiful five bedroom house, three boys being put through private school and one flash holiday per year. He works four days a week and she just two. They say that doing unnecessary work is still rife in the industry. They've actually branched out into botox as it's so lucrative (needs doing every three months). Both are very chilled out folks. Sounds ok to me!
I've just had a broken and decayed wisdom tooth removed privately. Including - consultation, 6 x-rays, stitches to the gum and removal of stitch at a later date. 3 appointments all in.
It was a difficult extraction due to my concrete jaw and awkward positioning of tooth, so took him nearly an hour. The charge was £140. I don't feel ripped of in the slightest, and I'd have given him every penny I had to get rid of the pain! He was very professional at all times, I hope he enjoys his aeroplane, he deserves it!
Colin Howell was a dentist. Makes you wonder.
