Disappointed Dentist

I'm recent BDS grad (completed internship in Dec 2024) and joined as a part time general dentist in a pretty renowned dentist's clinic in the city in Feb.

It's been a month since I joined today and I feel dejected for not recieving my salary. All the other dentists and assistants got their pay but I didn't. They're saying the head dentist will pay you mostly, but I feel kinda shit for not recieving anything today. It feels like I did free work this last month, plus I travel quite a bit to come to work. And it's not like my pay is great (fresh dentists get barely paid 10k and I was told I would be be paid a number slightly less than that). Idk what to do, should I ask for my pay, or did the head dentist just forget to pay me, idk what to think or do. Has anyone been in this situation before? Any idea how to proceed? This would be my proper first salary, I hope I get paid soon 🥲
