[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is all the upselling legal? When I go to an MD or NP or PA they don't upsell other services?

So much of dentistry is unregulated and seems like invented procedures to make more money like two phase braces for most kids, selling expensive electric toothbrushes, in office whitening, insisting you need crowns when a filling will do, etc. [/quote]

Because some are purely cosmetic. 
Because some treatments are on a sliding scale. For example, I have a problematic tooth and there are multiple ways to handle it.

I will say, imo, it depends on the dentist. I've switched many times due to "upselling" of things I don't need or want, or bc of HUGE estimates for work. I don't hesitate to get a second opinion. I'm with my current dentist now for years and do not have this issue. This is a local place, though, and not one bought out by a corporate entity. THAT is the main problem here. [/quote]

But we manage that in healthcare.

Dental disease is linked to heart disease, and abscesses can send people to the ICU.[/quote]
