Week in Review: SalaryScan | More work for less pay | Practice sales

Dear DrBicuspid Member,

The stories on DrBicuspid this week echo what you probably already know: It's a tough time to be a private practice dentist. From our SalaryScan survey to new data from the ADA Health Policy Institute (HPI), dentists say they're working harder for less pay. Perhaps that's why many of you want to know if it's time to sell your practice. 

See all of these stories and more in our top stories from the week:
