Why Your Dentist Might Seem Pushy
In 1993, Dr. David Silber, a dentist now practicing in Plano, Texas, was fired from the first dental clinic he worked for. He’d been assigned to a patient another dentist had scheduled for a crown preparation - a metal or porcelain cap for a broken or decayed tooth. However, Silber found nothing wrong with the tooth, so he sent the patient home.
He was fired later the same day. “
Never send a patient away who’s willing to pay the clinic money, he was told.
Silber said what happened to him then still happens today, that some dentists who don’t think they receive enough from insurance reimbursement - whether private insurance or Medicaid - have figured out ways to boost their bottom lines. They push products and procedures a patient doesn’t need or recommend higher-cost treatment plans when less expensive options might accomplish the same thing.
