How Dentists Really Make Money (and Why an Empty Chair Hurts)

Описание: A dental clinic looks like a gold mine: an expensive chair, a handful of staff, and bills that reach hundreds of dollars an hour. So why do so many dentists feel squeezed?

In this video we follow one hour in one dental chair, then follow the money back to the owner: production vs. collections, overhead, why profit is partly the dentist's own salary, and what happens when appointments get cancelled.
