MacDent Pro

You're not a dentist are you? :) Have you see the prices on the software systems dentists spend in order to manage their offices? It's REALLY expensive. Far more than this software.

No Sir, I'm not a dentist. Was just surprised by this price compared to graphic ones I use daily. No mean to be rude to the developper, just blown away !!!

Well, this software is for managing a whole business/office, in this case a dentist's office and from my own experience it is not unusual nor does it take long for an individual to run up a $5000 dentist bill (a root canal with a crown, or partial bridge, as the need may be... that will cost you about $5000 in New York City, anyway). So in that light, this software is quite reasonably priced.

Yes, I lived in Florida for twelve years, and in Canada for 10 years. The dentist bills in those country are a total rip-of. Now I live in France. Dentist prices are fixed by the government (social security) and are about one quarter from what they are in North America. In adition, they are covered from one third to full price by social security. And I can assure you, from my experience, that the service and quality are equivalent. The difference is really amazing !!!

Yes, I live in Mexico now and the dentist's prices here are 1/4 the dentist's prices in the USA, quality is the same or better.

So, maybe this software is priced for American dentists ;-)
