Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 20051800dentist "rigorous screening process"
Is the 1800 dentist screening process very rigorous? The web site says it is but doesn't have any details on what a dentist has to do to qualify. Also, it doesn't say whether the screening process varies by locale. Ideas? > Is the 1800 dentist screening process very rigorous? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Ideas? I believe the "rigorous screening" is making sure the check clears before the name goes on the list of dentists they refer. I could be wrong, however.  Signature"Did Father shoot him?

Once at a meeting I asked what they needed from me to get certified, and they told me $1200/month.

The screening process consists of: Does the check paid, to get the dentist's name listed, bounce ?

They check licensure with the relevant state dental board, but you can just as easily do that yourself (for a list, see here: http://www.dentalfearcentral.com/dentist_license.html ). 1-800-Dentist is essentially an advertising agency. As far as I know, the dentists pay the agency about $1800 (a month) to advertise their services, when someone from their ZIP code calls 1-800-Dentist. > Is the 1800 dentist screening process very rigorous?

As far as I know, the dentists pay the agency about $1800 (a month) to advertise their services preferentially, when someone from their ZIP code calls 1-800-Dentist. a check for the monthly advertising fee is the screening process. The dentists are financially screened. > Is the 1800 dentist screening process very rigorous? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Ideas? My favourite is dentistry.com's "VIP Dentists" - "Dentistry.com is proud to highlight select dentists worldwide for exceptional Internet contributions to the art and science of dentistry" (the "exceptional Internet contributions to the art of science of dentistry" consist of having a dental office website and paying $50 a year to be featured, last time I had a look...). Cheap (compared to 1-800-Dentist) and cheerful ;-P |
