Time is our most valuable resource. And I don't want to waste yours.

These posts are for dentists interested in surgery. They are not for everyone.

If you're a dentist who likes surgery, stick around.

@pat_the_dentist You mean me posting photos showing off my full mouth extraction skills won’t attract more patients??? 😆

[Dr Russell Kirk @RussellKirkDDS]

Me: Sorry you can’t go to sleep to have your wisdom teeth out.

Patient: Why not?

Me: Your 80 years old and not in good health.

Patient: I’ll be fine.

Me: Uh, maybe. But maybe not.
I’m not gonna take that chance.

Point of this: Consider removing third molars before you get to this stage in life.

@drgallagher_ Sounds exhausting.

[Dr Russell Kirk @RussellKirkDDS]

@pat_the_dentist That would require the ADA to actually care about the dentists who they supposedly represent.

[Dr Russell Kirk @RussellKirkDDS]

@drgallagher_ Congratulations!!

[Dr Russell Kirk @RussellKirkDDS]

If home owners insurance worked like dental insurance did. Your house burns down and they give you $1000, less the deductible and offered to clean your windows twice a year. Dental insurance is not insurance it’s a coupon. Use it accordingly.

[Dr Russell Kirk @RussellKirkDDS]

@LTC4RL Same.

[Dr Russell Kirk @RussellKirkDDS]

Interesting restorative option. Quite creative.

[Dr Russell Kirk @RussellKirkDDS]

@N_TaylorWVU That poor dentist that will need to take out #17 one day… 😆

[Dr Russell Kirk @RussellKirkDDS]

@Cisco_research Boo.

[Dr Russell Kirk @RussellKirkDDS]

@theDSOguy Dentists should start their own “business of insurance” entity.

[Dr Russell Kirk @RussellKirkDDS]

@N_TaylorWVU @RahulThanvi Yes. It hard as it is but this adds to the stress for sure.
