How do most dentists pay off their student loans?

admin — Mon, 03 May 2010 21:37:13 +0000

I was wondering how most dentists pay off their student loans and are able to still have the quality lives they deserve. Also, how much more do you have to pay back if you decide to specialize (e.g. ortho)? Answers from dentists are highly encouraged.

thankssss

You have to pay them all back even if you specialize. Most dentist take the maximum amount of time allowed to pay them back because their interest is lower and when first starting out in practice, you do not have a lot of money rolling in.

admin — Sat, 01 May 2010 19:47:07 +0000

think i need braces and i want to get them. other people think so to and they keep on telling me that. why do dentists make molds of your teeth. is it important? how long does it take for your dentist to say u need braces?

The dentist makes molds of your teeth to find out exactly what procedure needs to be done and on what teeth. They also take x-rays to see how your jaw may be affected, and to get another look at the way your teeth are placed and how they will move them around in your mouth, and also if any teeth need to be extracted (pulled) All your teeth are numbered and they make molds of your teeth, number them, and place backets, spacers, rubber bands, ect to get the best results, Beautiful teeth!

Is there a way Dentists can color your fillings and crowns on your teeth and make them look White?

admin — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 14:51:52 +0000

I have a few fillings and I wish they were not noticeable.
Can Dentists do something about them and make them look White like my teeth so no one can notice them?

odds are they will remove the old silver fillings and replace them with the newer composite fillings.

What do you think of dentists not being able to date patients in PA?

¿?

I think that is a crock of crap. As long as everything is professional in the dental office then that should be ok. I don’t see why it is unethical??? Is this only in PA?

What is the probability that a group of 3 dentists will have an available appointment slot at 2 PM?

admin — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 16:40:25 +0000

Assuming that a dentist has 8, 1 hour appointment time frames available in a day. Now assume that 3 independent dentists each having a utilization rate of 75% (that is, on average 6 of 8 slots a day are filled) decide to work togethor as a group.

What is the probability on any given day that the 2 PM time slot will be available?

How many dentists would have to work togethor at this utilization rate so that the probability would exceed 90%?

Please help me get my mind around this concept.
Thanks for the answers, great help.

Would you mind explaining how to handle the case where instead of only 1 appointment time slot, 2 PM in this example, the patient also choose another second choice time slot, so now it could be something 2 PM first choice and 11 AM second choice. How would you do the availability calculations for this sample case?

Here is how I would work this problem.

Prob(2pm available) = 1 – Prob(2pm slot full for all three dentists) = 1 – Prob(2pm slot for a given dentist is full)^3 = 1 – .75^3 = .578125 or about 58%.

Now for the second part, we want to find the minimum number of dentists that would have to work together so that the chance 2pm is available is 90%, or in other words, the chance it is full is at most 10%. So you want to find the smallest integer d such that:.75^d < .1

To solve for c, take the log (any kind of log will do) of both sides to get: d*log(.75) < log(.1)

divide both sides by log(.75) (which is negative so it flips the < to a >) to get d > log(.1)/log(.75) = 8.0039.

So technically you need 9 or more dentists to have the probability that 2pm is free to be >90%, but 8 will get you very close to 90%.
