[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest child ever had a cavity. When he was about to age out of our dental insurance suddenly the dentist claimed he had 10 cavities. We stopped going there and they spam us with calls and emails constantly.

And yeah, my adult child's new dentist found no cavitiies.[/quote]

I'm 60 and have never had a cavity in my life (go for cleanings probably once a year).  About 15 years ago the dentist I had been going to for years sold his practice.  The first time I saw the new dentist who bought the practice, she told me I had a mouth full of cavities and had to come back and get them all filled.  I went to a different dentist who said I had absolutely no cavities.  I wish I had reported her to whatever licensing board exists for dentists. This was just criminal!

On another note, private equity is getting into the dental (and vet) business big time.  My brother-in-law was a dentist on the west coast for 30+ years.  Last year he retired and sold his practice.  95% of the interested buyers were private equity firms who were buying up tons of dental practices and turning them into PE-backed chains.  He ended up selling to a single dentist who wanted to expand her practice.  [/quote]
