*the number changes depending on which source you're reading from, but it's roughly around that

Also, did you know:
"Britain" comes from the latin: "Britanus Denticus" - which translates as "realm of ecellent teeth and outstanding dentists". We have excellent dentistry in Britain. It's right up there with our world-famous cuisine and love of public speaking.

Shall we get back to the video?

Emergency services are all I care about-Bone-sets, stitches, wound care and antibiotics should be free of charge to all citizens of planet Babylon, worldwide. So should general dentistry. The machine (a type of prison) now requires that we play the societal-shuffle according to their economic rules (which are violated with impunity daily by the rule-makers) should not the slave-masters keep their labor force from breaking-down too soon?? Inmates in prisons in the United States receive free emergency and necessary dental maintenance, eh?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I had a wisdom tooth pulled in Chiang Mai. It cost about $20.

Admittedly, they did attach a string to my tooth and then an elephant - and told it to start running.

No, actually - really high tech, competent dentistry over there.

American Dentistry is a huge racket. A single dental implant, (not covered), mysteriously cost right around $1700 USD. The price is the same at any dentist you go to in the entire country.

Yes, I heard about this when Marketplace released it.

But let's be honest. No one goes to Dentists they've never been to before out of the blue for random surgery. What they suggest is purely a suggestion. Like any other business, the up-sell for cosmetic reasoning will always be available and just because they offer it, doesn't mean you have to do it.

The prices they quote are also the price before or without dental coverage. (I do understand not all coverage is the same)

There is also going to be overzealous Dentists, usually new dentists who just want to do all those big procedures because they enjoy the bigger jobs.
No one should be rushing into these procedures. You should stay with one dentist over time and build a relationship with them. I've never had a issue with any of my dentists. I've heard of people being offered specific services but they are all elective - and few move forward with them unless necessary.

I avoid any dental work for my family or myself if it's purely for cosmetic reasons (especially whitening- teeth aren't supposed to be white). You don't want to do it? Don't do it. But they are going to let you know your options. I think this is different than being told, "You must do it, if you don't, all your teeth are going to fall out and you will be in pain for the rest of your life."

-just doesn't happen.

a bit about Canadian dentistry

This still remains the best way to attract the most non-GED people into one area. Sorry, I'm feeling a bit terse today.


/Remember: Your leaders learned and know less than you, NOW (a lot are like this, obviously some do have a lot of education AS AN EXAMPLE Barack Obama--i.e. don't link him with these people). Their knowledge at the time was less and many get degrees from bible colleges just to add the ridiculous pre-rendered difference to those with a Dr.,PhD, etc... Our kids have more knowledge as well. They learn things in junior high that would have been reserved for college a few generations earlier. This shows the HUGE gap in understanding that can be at play here. Also, perhaps why secularism is winning with modern youth.

Slightly off-topic, but it relates to charlatanism...

No, the Paul's are not charlatans. But, their "doctor" difference that is awarded makes many people that aren't keen enough to see through the masquerade to realize they use it as a pulpit and a stick to beat in their opinions with... artificial "weight". Such as their views on evolution; I'm as qualified to talk about it as they are.

The Paul's are a great example of this. Dentistry with creationism. They should know though right, THEY'RE DOCTORS! They can easily refute something they in actuality have no knowledge of. This is the same here. You have slightly smarter cunning people with basic knowledge of medical and psychological manipulation and they use it to their own ends. The people there have no chance against this as they are blissfully ignorant or just uneducated. Very sad aspect of American life , if not the worst, if you ask me.

//A bit off-topic.

I think that, along with dentistry, translation the profession with the most heart attacks.

He looks like a coked up Pennywise the clown, only with better dentistry.

The town that dentistry left behind.

Approxamately one suicide per year? She uses that as a mark against the porn industry? How many dentists kill themselves every year? We should shut down the dentistry industry!

In all seriousness, I agree with gwiz; there need to be checks and balances to make sure the workers are treated properly, but the porn industry isn't something we should (or even can) shut down.
