C
an you and your staff recognize the basic signs
and symptoms of a medical emergency? When
was the last time you checked your emergency kit? Do
you remember how to treat a patient hyperventilating or
experiencing a stroke?
Medical emergencies can occur at any time in the
dental office. They can happen to anyone from the anxious
patient in the reception room to the elderly diabetic who
was told to skip breakfast prior to her appointment. They
can happen to the receptionist with a seizure disorder or
to the doctor experiencing prolonged chest pain. Statistics
tell us that medical emergencies are 5.8 times more likely
to occur in dental offices than in medical offices. This
should not come as a surprise, given how many patients
dentists treat who have significant medical conditions
complicated by a stressful environment in which drugs are
administered.
The best way to handle an emergency is to be prepared
in advance. Dr. David Grogan will review basic emergency
signs and symptoms, use of emergency equipment and
drugs, and walk through some likely emergency situations
that you might experience through the life of your practice.
Course Objectives:
• Basic Emergency Signs and Symptoms
• Emergency Equipment

Estimates vs Bids

r. David Grogan is currently
Associate Professor and Chair in the
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
at Texas A&M University Baylor College of
Dentistry in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Grogan received
his dental education at Baylor College of
Dentistry in Dallas, Texas and his certificate
in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Baylor
University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. Dr.
Grogan was in private practice in Waco, Texas
for 14 years prior to his appointment at Baylor
College of Dentistry. Dr. Grogan has many
teaching duties in both the undergraduate
and graduate curriculum at Baylor College of
Dentistry. Dr. Grogan has also been very active
in professional organizations locally, regionally
and on the national level.

f you’re on the cusp of starting that new dental project,
it’s really important to understand the difference between
an estimate and a bid. The two are often used interchangeably,
but they are not the same thing. A lack of knowledge about the
differences can be costly to you if misunderstood.
An estimate is exactly that: an educated guess based on some
amount of information. The amount of information provided
is critical. If the construction documents for your project are
abbreviated (do not fully specify and detail all aspects of a project)
and contain “allowances” for many items, then the best you can
hope for is an approximation of the project cost (and can expect
that final costs will be higher than initially anticipated).
A bid, by contrast, must be based on comprehensive, detailed
drawings, and a narrowly defined scope of work. With these, you
can successfully seek pricing from multiple, competitive bidders
comparing apples-to-apples.

...continued from page 2
The example I use to explain these differences is as follows:
• ESTIMATE: You want a new car. You ask dealers (from Ford to Mercedes) what a new car will cost. They want
to know model, engine size, accessories, etc. You don’t have that information to share with them (because your
drawings don’t describe the necessary items to provide accurate pricing). They will give you an estimate ($10K $100K). You’ll be inclined to accept the $10K price because it sounds great, but it will not pay for the Mercedes that
you really want.
• BID: You want a new car. It’s a Honda Accord Coupe V6 with all the bells and whistles. You go to local dealers and
look on-line. Everyone is pricing the same item. This is a competitive bid, and the highest to lowest price will not
vary widely.
Don’t be fooled. A construction estimate is not a bid, as a bid requires detailed drawings/scope to have any merit. Be
sure that you know what you’re asking for and what you can expect. In the end, you’ll pay a high price for that low
estimate.
