Dentist Claims Monthly Salary of 80,000, Girlfriend Doubts and Breaks Up
In major cities like Taipei, dentists generally earn higher salaries; however, actual pay can vary based on clinic size, personal experience, and patient volume. A dentist with six years of experience recently shared that his monthly income is only 80,000, leading to skepticism from his girlfriend who suspected he was hiding something or even cheating, ultimately resulting in their breakup.
The original poster (OP) stated that he works in a clinic in Taoyuan, seeing patients 12 times a week. Recently, the oversaturation of the dental market has drastically reduced the number of patients, limiting his income to around 80,000. Despite having plans to marry his girlfriend, she became doubtful when he revealed his income, suspecting him of keeping secrets or having an affair.
After a heated argument, they parted ways. OP lamented, saying that he has been trying hard to see patients, but the low patient count makes it ineffective.
