[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM is the first and only place I've ever read so many suspicious and angry posts about shady dentists. I had no idea that bias even existed. Maybe there's some truth to it; I don't know, but I have NEVER encountered it except here. Can anyone explain it to me?[/quote]

Follow-up q: If you are suspicious of dentists, do you also resent fluoride in the water? And are you a member of the Tea Party?[/quote]

Not OP, but I'm on my 5th dentist since moving here. I've been to some seriously shady dentists that upcharge, miss major cavities, and I had a root canal performed even though I didn't need one (verified by current, awesome dentist). So yeah there are lots of shady dentists here. [/quote]

+1. Over 20 years ago I had a wonderful dentist in another state who told me the marketplace is overflowing with dentists and people do some shady things to pay off those loans and make a good income. I thought he was a paranoid, but great dentist. I was naïve then, but have since learned he is right. When I have lived in less affluent areas I have not encountered shadiness, but ever since we moved to an area where we are the middle classers and there are many rich, I have encountered horrifyingly shady dentists. Whenever I doubt someone I make sure insurance will pay for another consult and when my cousin is in town and I have check things out. Lemme tell you, something is fishy with the dentists in the area and you have to really hunt for a good one.[/quote]
