Dental Front Desk in practice
What a front-desk hire costs an employer is more than the salary, because benefits and payroll taxes come with it. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes both the median wage for receptionists and the share of employer cost that wages represent; our cost article works the arithmetic through. Figures specific to dental practices are not published by BLS, so we do not state one.
