Private versus Public Dentist Salaries in Australia

It was fascinating to learn that private sector dental treatments in Australia, just like the US, are so expensive and the public dentists' waiting list so long that some people prefer to pull their own teeth out! Click Here to read about that - while some others are forced to leave the Aussie borders to Thailand and other countries that offer the same for a third or fourth of the cost. For example, this article talks about crown-fitting charges of $400 in Thailand versus $1500 in Australia

Well, I went to India too, to get some dental work done, and the US-India trip turned out cheaper than getting them done here in the United States.....yeah !


This article quotes the starting annual salary for Public-sector dentists in Australia to be around $53,000/- Australian Dollars ($44,000 US Dollars), while the Private-sector dentists start off with $80,000/- Australian Dollars ($66,000 US Dollars) as of 2007. On job board even offered $92,000/- Australian Dollars for a private clinic seeking a senior dentist.
