WHAT DENTISTS SAY and FEAR:
1) I am cooked! I can't afford to reopen my office/clinic.
2) My fees are high enough, how am I going to charge extra for PPE?
3) I would like to work without a dental assistant to cut expense.
4) Once the vaccine for Covid19 is available, can I do away with some of these PPEs?
5) What if my workmanship is affected by the face shield I'm wearing?
6) It is difficult to wear my loupes with my face shield.
7) Can I require my patients to show me a Covid19 test result?
8) Can a patient sue me if he/she gets infected by Covid19 in my office?
9) Is there a portable air purifier that I can use instead of installing an elaborate air filtration system?
10) The dental profession ranked No. 1 based on high scores for exposure to contaminants and disease pathogens found in the air of dental offices. Are my staff safe?
11) I am thinking about using shoe covers.
12) I need to buy a hands-free phone. How audible will my front desk sound with facemask on?

Just sharing with you. Just a thought. Can society live without dentists? If ans is no, then be considerate to us. The job is not as easy as you percieve. 🙄🙄🙄.
Dr. Michelle (just a part of your post)

"A recent study came out that says if this pandemic goes until August 46% of dental offices will have to shut down. So many dentists are throwing up their hands and getting out of dentistry all together. The amount of stress that comes with running a business is hard enough. But imagine on top of all the dental business stress (finances, HR, marketing, OSHA, State board regulations, etc) you have patients coming in every day telling you how much they hate being there and complaining about your fees because they swear they are paying for your new yacht. When all you want to do is to be able to cover your overhead (which averages 73% of all collections and does not include any pay to the doctor). Hell, I haven't received a paycheck yet! All the while you're bent over people who are sighing and annoyed, killing your neck and back working in a tiny wet hole with a tongue and cheek fighting every move you make. AND, everything you do has to be exactly perfect with protocols followed to a tee... on a microscopic level."

THERE ARE MORE "Germs" IN THE MOUTH THAN ANY OTHER PLACE IN THE BODY - but we can take it. We are trained well to do that job! A litttle appreciation won't hurt you. 👍👍👍😛😛😛😀😀😀
