 So, when you go to your dentist do you ever feel like they're scamming you?
Went to mine yesterday - middle of the cleaning, the hygienist says: You've got to come back next week. You've got gum disease. Meth will do that to ya.

OK, I'll grant that I don't floss and about once a year is enough for a dental visit unless there are "issues", but I think with the crowns that this guy has put in, the fillings and the cleanings, I paid for at least a portion of his last first class airfare to Europe.

I got rid of my last dentist because he kept trying to sell me implants instead of doing crowns.

Don't floss, Don't brush, eat poorly, do drugs... Why would you ever have dental problems?

3. ya. i really dont like paying for her television service in every stall.....

i did feel i was being scammed. two insurance and still paying cash, i felt i was being scammed there, too. it is bullshit.

No, I don't know what she is talking about either.

There is more- but it's all about good liberal dentists vs RW dentists scamming the public, etc etc etc...

10. One of My Dentists Had Photos of the Rolling Stones All Over His Walls

He had long grey hair and declared himself to be an old hippie, which meant one thing. He probably has some of the best weed in all of NYC.

Plain old baking soda is the best thing in the world to use to brush your teeth....but I bet your dentist will never tell you that.
