How much do you tip your dentist?

CometMeebru

Recently got some work done and was just wondering how much gratuity is normal for dentists?

is 20% standard?

Sinisterly

Usually at a 45 degree angle. Depends on how much gas he gave me.

It never occurred to me that this profession was 'due' a tip.

I don't tip my Dentist at all. I have never heard of tipping your Dentist.

ProgressNotPerfection32

Uh negative ghost rider. No tipping someone who makes at least double my salary, :noway:

what the heck! why would you tip the dentist? would you tip your gynecologist too? :huh: :noway:
actually, I think it is illegal to tip someone in the medical profession.

Whatever gas your dentist gave you, I want some.

This has got to be a troll post. Nobody is stupid enough to think you tip a dentist.

LadyBeryl

Tip a dentist? No. I don't tip my primary care doctor, my dentist, my ophthalmologist, my gallbladder surgeon, or my podiatrist. I don't think they expect to be tipped.


Do you also tip your children's teacher(s) and administrative staff?

Thank you for making me laugh so hard that I just had water come out my nose. I'm STILL laughing!

What? Tip the Dentist??? Are you serious?

My answer is NONE. They get paid either from me or the insurance company and there is no tipping.

Do you tip your medical doctors?

Wait, Romania? Pretty sure my Romanian friend tipped her doctors for better service.
Where are you?

My tip for my dentist is to quit torturing me with the pointy objects in my mouth after his tech has scraped my teeth with pointy objects. By that time I just want to leave. I pay them enough since I have crappy insurance and crappy teeth thanks to genetics anyway.

20% or $300, which ever is the greater amount

Ah, makes sense now. Yes, I have heard it before.
Did not mean to make fun, my apologies.
Thought you were trolling, honestly.
Yes.. Very messed up.. She usually tips them 30% and gets pretty good service. Hope that helps .

I thought that Romania has a similar system to the UK NHS with healthcare provision?

In which case if you aren't a private patient there will be a set charge for treatments if you are over 18 & employed. I know that Romania does still have an "under the table" payment system for services which are in fact free. I can only assume that is to get quicker or preferential treatments?

who the **** tips a dentist? dyou tip your family dr. too? the shrink?

dentists make a KILLING. i have never tipped mine, and never heard about anybody else tipping their dentist before today. im intrigued.

if its necessary where you are [it shouldn't be, but whatever] then tip them whatever it costs to get the best teeth :P

You do not tip healthcare professionals. They are unable to accept gifts of any kind.

Sinisterly

Well, they have to, in Romania unless they want to be dismissed.
Best of luck, Comet! :flowerforyou:

Maybe in whatever country you live in.
