dentists are like scammers

[pico]

have you notice everytime you visit the dentist for a teeth cleaning, they'll find at least one or two cavity they need to get work on? one time i visited this new dentist when i was traveling, he said i have like 20 cavities...he even circled them in the x-ray. then few months later when i visit my regular dentist, he said my teeth are fine.

How about the UNwarranted x-rays they recommend.........that do more harm to your health than good.

JOKE

Dentistry is on the decline so these Dr's will do anything to make money.

I recently talked to someone who found over the years she was getting over charged on all her dental bills.
when she confronted the dentist, she was floated a check for the amount...no questions asked.

This is only one patient that found the over charges......How many others are getting screwed and didn't notice?

It's a racket like any other business you can't blame them for maximizing the money any way they can. Veterinarians are the worst though. Dropped 3k this year alone at them.

dental insurance is pretty much a joke too, anything outside routine work is a ball breaker

Has a root canal done in January of 2008, by June the tooth had cracked. Asked my dentist (who I had been seeing regular for 5+ years) half jokingly if this qualified as some sort of warranty work. Basically told me to go **** my hat and find another dentist.

A racket indeed.

Two crowns not long ago = $1600, but the problem is if you dont take care of your teeth, your health in general will decline over time.

later
