Q. I have been a dentist for about 3 years now. I have paid off all of my college loans and I have some money ahead. I would really love to practice dentistry in Italy. However, how much should I expect to earn if I moved over there to practice?
A. My family Dentist of course is the other that earns good money. He has his own practice which earns him and his wife (who also is a certified Dentist) a good life style. They live in a very affluent neighborhood. He seems to enjoy his work.
With that being said it is still up to you. The only advice I can give you is do what makes you happy. Having a job that allows you to earn 120 - 200k a yr is great, but if you�re not satisfied in life then all the riches will not make you happy.
I can say both are happy with their jobs, although my Dentist seems to be happier (2 kids, wife and cats). My lawyer friend is young and spends a lot of time on the road. So I�m sure once he finishes the Navy contract he will no doubt opt for a more civilized 9 - 5 hr work week.
The important point here is that both have a great sense of service to other is the first and only thing. Both jobs require dedication and excellence. The one you chose will be the one you should be happy with.

Can a dentist tell a parent she can not be present at her minor childs dental appointment?
Q. My dentist will not allow parents of children over the age of 4 to go back to the exam chair with the child, even if the child is scared and crying. Does anyone know where I can find in writing where a dentist can do this or not?
A. Yes, a dentist can tell that to a parent. It may be a preference of the dentist not to have a medling parent interfering or planting bad suggestions at the child just prior to injection.
Weather or not the parents give consent by signing the consent form & letting the assistant take the child down the hall is the option of the parent. I get new patients from parent free offices all the time because I let parents come and go as they please. Sometime though I'll ask if they can wait outside with the glass door closed so they can watch, but not say anything. Parents say terrible things like. I told you it wouldn't hurt(Never tell a kid it won't hurt, especially if you know they will be getting a shot). Or talk over the instructions of the dentist. Shut up and open your mouth. I've even had a parent start spanking the child. One overbearing mother continually talks over my instructions and helicopters over her frantic kids, doing 10 counts and so on. Last year she was sick and her husband came in with her kids, guess what he stayed outside, and the kids had the shortest appointment ever; completely different behavior.
The point is many times the mere presence of the parent in the room makes the visit many times worse for everyone involved. The parent can provide an avenue, like an open door, for the child to be more scared and frantic than he otherwise would be, having to deal with the experience on their own.
Hope it helps

When do you start taking Dental / Vision insurance for kids ?
Q. At what age do you include your kids in dental, vision insurance ? I have a 3 yr old. Isn't it too early for her dental cleanups ? For vision I understand she could develop difficulty in seeing anytime but can I take her to her PCP for that ?
A. my 17 months old has been to the eye doctor to check for lazy eye and the insurance was helpful for sure.
As for dental....you are already behind the curve. They want to start seeing babies at 12 months or with their first tooth. I just brought my daughter in to the dentist for the first time as an emergency when I noticed her tooth turning black (which I thought was from a falling injury but was really stained from iron supplements). If she would have needed a root canal plus other stuff it would have been thousands and I was thanking God she was on my dental insurance!! I wouldn't wait....

How do I make my cavities go away without going to the dentist?
Q. I have some small cavities and one is starting to make my mouth sore. The dentist is so expensive and I was wondering if there were any natural remedies to help cavities such as vitamins, minerals, herbs, roots, whatever. i just need to make these cavities better without paying thousands of dollars! Help!
A. Do you have your own drill? Just kidding.
You really will need to see a dentist to get these taken care of. Look for a low-cost (sometimes free) dental clinic in your area. Most areas have at least one. If you know of an open door or free medical clinic in your area, call them and ask to be referred to a dentist. They only charge based on what you can afford, it's great.
In the meantime, you can use numbing essential oils which contain eugenol (some examples are clove and cinnamon) if you have any pain from the cavity. My source below has a guide to essential oils that lists all common eugenol-containing essential oils. You can also buy eugenol in a pure or near-pure form at most pharmacies.
Good luck to you!
