Has anyone out there in MT land ever worked as, I guess you would call it, a dental lab person? I have a possible job opportunity to do this, making dental appliances, etc. It seems to have a high turnover, as the job ad in is the paper a couple of times a year. The ad always says, "someone who is good working with their hands, likes arts&crafts". Wondering what info someone might have who has done this? Evidently the pay is pretty good at this dentist office, although I think it is piecework $17-25/hour.

I hate dental reports. Why in the world do they say tooth #A - A is not a number!!
dental
A is a baby tooth. They are numbered A,B,C and so on until through T. We have to use the letters on insurance forms.
Dental Trancription
If you dont want it it do!!!
I don't like their dental plan. nm

Any dental transcriptionists out there?
I transcribe all ops, and I have an oral/maxillofacial surgeon, but no samples on him. Is there anyone doing this type of transcription who might be able to send me a few good samples of dental surgeries?
Thanks.
Dental insurance
Can anyone recommend a good company for dental insurance?
TIA!
You'd have to stick to oral/dental, because how much do you know about
obstetrics, hip replacements, craniotomies, heart bypass, etc. , etc., not to mention all the medications that have nothing to do with dentistry?
Dental/Oral Surgery
I need a some good dental/oral surgery reference books. These books would have to include also the names of dental instruments and how they are most often packaged together and what the names of the packs are.
Can somebody help me with some links to some good books that would not only include traditional reference material but also the additional information I am needing?
Thanks, Anne

Dental hygienists make a LOT of money!
If you have any not yet in school, in all reality it would be better for you to wait till they are in school and then try to take classes during the day. Trying to do MT, go to school and raise kids is not easy at all. You have to make it work. Research how much hygienists make. Research schools in your area. Check into financial aid. Work it out and THEN go to your DH with your well thought out plan and emphasize the PAY. If your kids are preschool age, tell him you want to start once they are in school.
I feel the same way when I do eye surgery or dental reports. sm
Get a good anatomy book, study it, and keep it on hand. It will really help in the future.
I've been doing lots of dental notes. Not boring at all
when you think about the ease and money you can make cuz they always say the same things. I'd take it.
Hardest: Dental surgery. Easiest: Cardiology, OPs. sm
Most interesting: Psych.
I think it's generally whatever you get the least of that you'll find the hardest. I used to hate OPs, GI procedures, and cardiology, but eventually got used to them and found they are repetitive (aka good money makers!).
MQ part-time benefits do NOT include medical/dental. Nm

My dad owns a dental lab - GOOD money, steady work, very tedious though
nm
