A typical dentist visit consists of 95% of your time with the dental hygienist and 5% with the dentist. The exception would be if you're having a cavity fixed, having to get a cap, or getting a root canal. And if those things are happening, you ain't talking, and they're talking to the assistant.
So yeah, he's a liar. The primitives don't know it because they never go to the dentist.
