What would you say if the DDS had 16 quad plus 3 pro in a afternoon?

This is a Dent-Cal office which only pays appoximatley 118.00 for all 4 quads and your new job wants all four done in one hour. You are given 30 min for adult prophys, no assistant. No treatment plan many times! Yet adult patients 25yrs who are scheduled for prophy but clearly need SRP judging from spot checking pockets and heavy supra calc and BOP. Pt has been going there since he was 10 and you see no perio chart, fmx or notes other than prophys? While checking pockets pt says wow nobody ever went back that far before.He also has never seen probe or scaler before only the polisher, You also are not given an assistant just 3 opperatory chairs and asked to save your energy for the cash patients and insurance patients who are given the same one hour for 4 quads yet billed 700.00 for their cleaning?

I'd say you're working in a meat market and only your conscience can guide you.





Is there a reason you don't go into private practice?
