By popular request, the deadline to participate in Bent Ericksen and Associates' 2009 Employee Benefit Survey has been extended 30 days.

For dentists, go to the link on www.bentericksen.com or www.thedentalsurvey.com to submit your data. IT'S FREE! Join the hundreds who have already done so. The process will take about 15 minutes.

The results will answer questions like: What benefits should I provide? What are other dentists in my area doing? How do I stack up? The results, broken down by zip code, practice type, full-time, part-time, per diem employees and associates, with highs, lows and averages for compensation, will be published via an emailed downloadable attachment.

As a special "thank you" for participation -- by going online and completing the survey, dentists can receive the complete 2009 Employee Benefits Survey report for $39 (regularly $229).
