title: Insurance--a dental viewpoint. Part II: Sickness and accident.
abstract: It is a very fortunate dentist indeed who survives an average 40-year working life without suffering illness or an accident. This will normally keep the dentist away from work and the ability to earn for a period of time. In the worst cases the disability may prevent a return to normal work with disastrous effects upon career earnings. Insurance against loss of earnings has therefore a very high priority.
