no. I believe a number of us this age ( I will be 62 this year) feel the same way. Insurances making it harder every year, staff/HR issues, State and federal hoops, just the mental and physical demands. If I can jump on this thread a little, when do you know its the right time to hang it up?? Watch

legal action. No product liability insurance, just for starters. FDA clearance is a requirement for anything that goes in the mouth. Really bad things can happen at 400 K RPM. It's really easy to sell products cheaply without all that pesky regulatory stuff. Oh and not a care in the world

to have. They have fake labels for all of them. Why should you care when the product cost is 10% or so what the real deal goes for? If that product ever causes an issue in your office, you may find yourself very lonely. Read the fine print on your insurance policy. Very likely you will find

under a new name the next AM, does that give you pause? It damn well should. What happens when the worst happens? In the case of my manufacturer's you will be made whole. Why? Because we carry product liability insurance. I'm not speaking of hypothetical instances, I've seen it personally. I won't

it. The beauty of selling on Ebay from outside the USA? In most cases you are legally untouchable. One can sell cheaper when product liability insurance is unnecessary. I guess I'm stuck with the option of buying used Prophy Jet, but man-o-man, those are expensive, even on the used market. WIll, do you

you can order up a battery from one of the online suppliers for a modest fee. You will have to solder on the connecter, but most dentists know how to do this. I would probably have to do four MODs to pay for it considering what some of these insurances pay. Maybe even 8 MODs will pay

the box type units if going with electrics, you want an integrated built in system. Bear in mind please, should an Unapproved product result in patient injury and a lawsuit you COULD be very lonely. Insurance companies investigate claims. It has become routine for building inspectors to red tag imported

Chinese 20 dollar handpieces. They are cheap. You could be awfully lonely if the worst happens. Real manufacturer's carry product liability insurance. If those Chinese sellers played by the rules of the USA market, they would not be cheap. It's not a huge expensive job to change the handpiece tubing

"the system" actually work, it is a good thing. It can save both your bacon and your patients. When the USA product we manufactured was named in a suit, our product liability insurance stepped up. Downright dangerous products are sold daily on Ebay. By privately importing these products you are also

of stuck burs are the diamond burs. Can you shed some light on why that is? It is not illegal to steal from Americans in China. Doctors using this junk off E-bay have no recourse should the equipment cause injury to a patient or a staffer. Check that office insurance policy, commercial buildings in most

hairs. Gotta love Shanks. Our patient just needs a hippie chick and his settlement. 40 percent paid by hygienists insurance. 50 percent paid by Dr. office insurance. 10 percent paid by Marus dental product liability insurance. I was LIVID that we ended up with 10% liability, we did absolutely

. The sensor was the most profitable piece of Eq. in the office, by far. The above case was a veterinarian, where sensor life is generally MUCH shorter due to bites. Also no insurance discounts so easy to figure out the amount of profit that sensor generated. It was a 6 figure number. Even when

I hadnt thought of calling reps/different companies and asking. I knew the schools price would be steep, but I didnt know

instruments is their concentricity. Next up, when it comes to liability, the last thing you want to be is lonely. Have you read all the fine print with regard to your insurance coverage, specifically what that coverage may be when using products that lack any safety or efficacy data whatsoever

by the same set of rules. In the USA that includes little details about FDA clearance, product safety approvals, product liability insurance........the list goes on. Some Chinese manufacturer's comply with all of the above......................I welcome them as a competitor. Then there are those who
