entertain yourself by buying their new 2026 ADA code book of codes that insurances companies won't cover. Where do you teach? Why is it 2.5 years? The closest school near me does it in 2 years. 5 years ago it was 250k for those two years and I was told it was the cheapest at that price. But 4 years were

Hello,On the dental license application, it asks if I have malpractice insurance. I am starting residency next month and wish to moonlight on the side. I have not yet gotten my malpractice insurance and If I say no, will the board not approve my license? Or should I just get malpractice insurance

What happened? Most likely everything will work out. Did you have malpractice coverage? Get anattorney. Maybe you will have to take a few hours of remediation at a dental school You can also get a job working at a university. Jump through all the hoops your board will throw...

be and to have them advise how to proceed. Hope this is helpful! Angie Will the new insurance company cover for things that happened before your policy started?Will your current policy still cover you if anything that happened now but doesnt come to light until next year?Insurance isnt a huge expense it could be safer/easier to have some overlap in coverage Solid thoughts friend. I like where your mind is at.

cares? Life is too short and there are too many battles to worry about fighting that one.I didn't interpret that as a denial for WREB for licensing by credentials. Michigan is one of the easiest states to get a license. It's still relatively inexpensive. The biggest hurdle is to get your fingers

you want. If you want to be acknowledged by your peers or patients as being equal to a specialist then you need to formally become a specialist. Insurance companies are all about cutting cost, but why on earth would they send their patients to someone with considerably less training

that is within our scope of care but we cannot be credentialed to remove impacted teeth, for example, by insurance companies because all state Dental Practice Acts and Licensing Requirements include a four year training program. Again, ridiculous and overkill to remove teeth. Last, most OMFS's don't

centralized control, that's when I think it's a bad path to follow. I am all in favor of license reciprocity actually, as long as the states get to make those decisions. The only reason I am a member, because with the TDIC insurance my malpractice and ADA fees come out to be around $3500 a year. I
