He's right. Dentists don't do cleanings. I've had to get deep cleaning done and the hygienist did everything. The dentist just looks at the x rays, they do the final examination and make sure everything is good. I mean damn, if the dentist does everything, what's the point in having a hygienist? i know a few black dentists and they seem to be doing pretty well. If anyone here is thinking about med school and may not have the grades, dental school may be easier to get into.
100K salary for just to brush someones teeth twice year? This is a scam, I know one when I see it. Got assistants doing all the prep work too.
And they don't even give you a bill. They just take your insurance and say will take care of the rest. What?!?!
If I don't have any cavities, this shyt should be free.
that sounds like hell. I'd had terrible toothaches where I almost was to the point of pain where pulling it out myself felt like it might be the best option
I also have chipped molar now that hurts a little here and there with pressure but probably could crumble any day, you are making me want to set an appointment asap.

I got mad respect for good dentist, most of the time they got to deal with people thats either has great teeth or in so much pain they want to off themselves.
Then they got to dig in peoples mouth and make sure they are comfortable while trying to fix the problem....yeah hats off to the great dentist out there.
