We’re the only pediatric dental office for sixty miles, so we’re busy.
We’re in a rural area. Oklahoma currently has a generous loan repayment program for rural dentists, and the rumor is the program will be even better for the next few years.
We have a nurse anesthetist group who provides deep sedations in our office. Also I have two to three days per month in the OR. We do a few oral sedations for extremely short procedures. Pediatricians know we provide laser frenectomies, so we’ve been doing several per week. We’re mostly a fast-paced, bread and butter pedo office.
Pedo practice in SE Oklahoma. The nearest pediatric dentist to us is about 60 miles away. Our collections are about 75% medicaid, and we’re crazy busy.
