[quote=Anonymous][size=18] [/size][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[b] two phase braces for most kids,[/b] selling expensive electric toothbrushes, in office whitening, insisting you need crowns when a filling will do, etc. [/quote]

This is the biggest scam. Every single NW DC family I know just ponied up the $15K for this and they all started with reasonable teeth. So ridiculous.  [/quote]

I have 3 kids.  For one of them, the orthodontist said — it’s just cosmetic, I could fix it in 3 months if you care.  We opted not to bother.  For another, they said it’s a minor issue and can be fixed in 6-9 months.  For the third, she had every problem you can have and it took years to get it fixed.  So my experience was that they didn’t just sell all us on the most expensive plan in all cases.

I also have a dentist that never upsells me.  I always think the price of the cleaning is actually a really good deal considering how important it is.  [/quote]
