- For some patients, the dental treatment is of paramount importance and they place a premium value on it. Such patients won’t mind paying the price if they feel you as a dentist are providing a good service.
- Some patients – who don’t place much value on maintaining dental health, they will always have a problem in accepting the prices of dental treatments.
In some cases the dentists also overvalue their treatment price and that many times leads to a generalized view that the dental treatments are very costly. Many patients are afraid of dentists just for the fear that it will be costing them a lot.
This situation can only be improved by the collective efforts by the dentists coming together.
