Re: fair charge for dental work?

I wish dental fees were fair. If the patients would pay on a per hour basis
I think I'd see alot fewer patients with "sensitive teeth".

Lets see:
Assistant #1 = $20/hour
Assistant #2 = $20/hour
Office manager = $18/hour
Receptionist = $15/hour
Dental hygienist = $38/hour

Salary total per hour = $111/hour
Supplies per hour = ??
Overhead per hour = ??

Hmm I'm curious now. What does it cost for me to run the practice. I'll be
right back.
