    Dentist Rip People Off

    I was just reminded of this by a recent Andy Dunn newsletter. There was this special on one of those documentary shows like 20/20 around a month ago and it was talking about how badly people are getting ripped off (they focused on Florida) by dentist unnecessarily putting caps on their kids teeth.

    Then I remembered when I was in the 6th grade. My dentist at the time suggested to my parents that I get braces. They couldn't afford it so we didn't do it. Now days when I go to my current dentist, they always ask if me I used to have braces because my teeth are so straight. Gotta watch these guys. Especially when it comes to getting dental care for your kids.

          My old dentist was a quack. He'd put those sealents on my back teeth to keep them from getting cavities. The problem was they would always fall out. He'd insist we put them in again. The first filling for a cavity he gave me also fell out.

              HELL YEAH!

              People I hate: Doctors, Dentists, Mechanics.

              I think they're all crooks! Anybody that would choose such a horrible profession can't be a good person (like a pornographer!)

                  Did you know that Dentists recomend that you keep your toothbrush at least 6 feet away from the toilet to avoid flying debris from landing on your toothbrush. Joe Dangle

                      True there, that's why I just fight out a cold or flu. If I'm laying there dying, then I'll go to a hospital. And I don't trust 99% of the mechanics out there so I fix everything that I can, and then my good friend will do what I can't.

                          Most mechanics aren't underhanded, they're just not logical enough to know how to fix things 100% properly.

                          Don't confuse ignorance with evil intent.

                              What's wrong with stainless steel teeth? Maybe not for kids, but I would love stainless steel teeth. Instead of tooth paste, I would use buffing compund. I would magnetize them, and hang metal objects from them. You could floss with guitar string. I would play mine like a xylophone. I would chew on aluminum foil for the bone chilling sensation.

                              Hey I think I just discovered a new fetish. Chicks with metal fillings that chew on tinfoil. You could show photos of all the goose bumps, on their breasts, and arms.

                                  Hazen, I hate to break this to you but...

                                  When you was a kid, the tooth fairy waited until you was asleep & put braces on your teeth. She wanted to piss off dentists everywhere by denying another victim of crooked teeth.

                                          (reply to: what's wrong with stainless steel teeth?)

                                          It's either a very painful procedure, or the damn things conduct electricity really well.

                                          In the news report, the dentist seemed to just grind ALL of the teeth down and cap them with stainless steel (that way the kids didn't need to goto the dentist)

                                          You and I may think it looks neat, but you know how children (and some adults) treat people with differences.

                                              LOL Redshoe & Jamdin.

                                              Yeah Corpsie, that was the one about the stainless steel caps.

                                              I remember reading that thing about the toilet too, and how when you flush, microscopic particals drift up to so many feet away and could possibly land on things. That's why I installed a toilet right in the kitchen. So now the drifting bacteria ain't gotta work so hard to get to the good stuff.
