How hard this is to fill
This is the same score as the free check.
For one manager
Say what the schedule looks like, who owns the patients, and how pay is figured. Ask which procedures the dentist does without referring out.
License and training
Every state licenses dentists through its dental board. The usual path is a DDS or DMD from an accredited school, the national board exam, and a clinical exam the state accepts. Confirm your state board's rules before you hire or start.
