A customer asked me how much it cost to do tooth extraction.
๐ ๐ฒ: 1500php
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Masyado namang mahal, bunot lang.
๐ ๐ฒ: How much do you think it would cost you?
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: 500php maximum... Madali lang naman yon diba?! Saka mura lang mga gamit tapos antibiotic lang.๐
๐ ๐ฒ: Ok, since magkakilala naman tayo pwede namang ikaw ang gumawa. ๐
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Pero hindi ko alam kung paano...๐
๐ ๐ฒ: For 500php tuturuan kita, nakasave ka pa ng 1,000php. You'll get the knowledge na kailangan mo. ๐
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Sige, pwede na din.๐
๐ ๐ฒ: But to get started: May mga kailangan tayong gamit:
โdental chair (100k to 200k)
โpersonal protective equipments (1000 to 2k)
โmedicaments(1k plus)
โautoclave(25k to 35k)
โset of dental forceps(25k plus)
โgauze, q tips (250)
โmouthwash(350)
โetc.
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Hala.๐ฃ But I don't have all these equipment. Bibili pa ba ko niyan, isang ipin lang naman gagawin ko. ๐
๐ ๐ฒ: Well then for another 1000php more I'll rent my stuff to you para makagawa ka. ๐
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Sige Sige ๐
๐ ๐ฒ: Okay! thursday I'm waiting for you to start doing this work ha.
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: But I can't on Thursday I only have time today.๐ข
๐ ๐ฒ: I'm sorry, but I'm only available on Thursday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other patients na kasi. ๐
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Thursday and give up my other tasks.๐ฃ
๐ ๐ฒ: I forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the non-productive factors.๐
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Totoo ba? Ano naman yun?๐ฒ
๐ ๐ฒ: Vat, power, water, etc.
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Jusko! Ang dami ko namang babayaran at masasayang na oras bago ako makagawa!๐ฒ Sige. Yung mga gamit ok naman na?
๐ ๐ฒ: Sure, nasa akin naman na yung ibang gamit, but for the peri apical radiograph you need to have one and I will refer you to diagnostic center (500 to 700php)
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: X Ray Lang tapos ganun na agad price ? ๐
๐ ๐ฒ: Actually may ppe fee pa na 500 sa diagnostic center. โ๏ธ
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: 500 sa turo, 500 sa rent ng stuff, 500 na lang kulang para ikaw gumawa.๐ Konti nalang din naman ang idadagdag ikaw na pala gumawa.๐
When you pay for a job, especially dental works, you pay not only for the material used, but also:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time to go
- punctuality
- Accountability
- Accuracy
- Guaranteed
- Sacrifices
- Safety and security
No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices.
Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work can you estimate the actual cost.
