shit that turned me against dentists:
• i was choosing a dentist and tried a couple different places. i had perfect teeth at the time. each dentist had a list of completely different "urgent" procedures that "needed" to be done.
• dental insurance will pay out x amount of money per year. dentists will come up with a list of stuff that "needs" to be done that magically comes out to that number. once it's used up you don't hear from them until the next year when that number refreshes.
• they don't tell you about risks or alternative procedures when recommending a treatment, just choose the most expensive path. you don't find out about those risks until moments before the procedure when signing paperwork.
• that paperwork includes clauses that say "you can't sue us if we fuck up, EVEN IF IT'S OUR FAULT".
• the invisalign brochure is full of case photos of the gnarliest mouths you've ever seen and almost all of them claim to have been repaired in 6 months. i had one(!) tooth i wanted straightened, a case so mild it would never be in a brochure like that, and it took THREE FUCKING YEARS. they also don't tell you that you have to wear a retainer every day after it's straightened.
- They always suggest you should shop around for Dentists. That doesn't really account for the majority of them being money cunts though.detritus
