since i'm a dentist, of course i know the answer. after seeing how many people complain about how expensive dentists are, i was wondering what you thought i make.

i charge $840 for a regular old crown with no special circumstances. so for that 2 hour procedure, how much do you think goes into my pocket?

i think it's really the medical equivalent to scientology. what a hoax!

"i don't have insurance"...quit whining. if you're sick you go to the doctor whether you have insurance or not. so why do people avoid dental treatment knowing that it's gonna cause agonizing pain just because they don't have insurance.

here's another one. why do you think that you deserve new teeth without paying for it? you let you teeth go bad (cause you didn't have insurance, right) and now you want some charitable organization to pay for your extreme makeover. it's by far the most common question on here.

your tooth problems are always your own fault so it's time to take on the personal and financial resposiblity to do something about it. put the soda and candy bar down and pick up some floss so you don't have future problems.

unless you are a dentist, you are giving bad info. that goes especially for you dental assistants. you don't even have college degrees! you hygienists can answer about gums and that's it.

so please, keep the urban legends to yourselves unless you've actually been to school to study dentistry for say, eight years.
