Are all dentists filthy rich?!
Question:
Are all dentists filthy rich?
Answers:
No. That's a major myth. Endodontist (root canal specialists), oral surgeons, and orthodontists are among the richest. Any dentist that has a specialty tends to make more money than a general practitioner. But there are a lot of variables: location--higher rent per month; technology--digital equipment, massage or leather chairs, in-house lab to make crowns or dentures; and staff size--all affect the profit generated by an office or dentist.
People don't realize that dental products/supplies are very expensive.
