[quote=briansd1]sdrealtor, my bro is a maxilofacial but he doesn’t do dentistry.
I changed dentist because mine wanted to replace my crown and fillings just because they are old. She also wanted to sell me a night-guard which I don’t need. Maybe she hired a new business consultant who is advising how to generate incremental revenue.
My new dentist so far is awesome. Young guy in a dental group. Everything is ultra modern. They have digital x-ray and computerized medical records. He told me that all I needed was a cleaning which was covered by insurance.
PS: remember to gargle after every meal with hydrogen peroxide. It’s a cheap gargle that keeps your teeth white and clean. No need for the other expensive stuff.[/quote]
Many dentists seem to be going this route. They are trying to upsell instead of taking care of their patients teeth in the most economical way.
It’s like you can’t trust what the dentists are saying anymore.
FWIW, this is why I don’t believe that healthcare and a profit motive can work together. Too much of a conflict of interest.
