Do dentists feel a failure every time they get a cavity?

Interesting thought. I'll ask my dentist AND Hygenist on my next appointment!

No....I think they feel the failure AFTER the filling of the cavity, and after the failure to keep the filling in place, causing a new caries.....however that failure id felt by the PATIENT firSt....

No, of course not! Cavities can happen to anybody and actually, it's good for us working in the dental field. Cavities mean more fillings which earn us more money!

What's the saying? "The cobbler's son hath no shoes!"

oops sorry not apropos!

How bout this one:

'Never trust a dentist with teeth painted on his lips!"

Ya that's the one!

If dentists are like doctors, they also make the worst patients!

But even dentists get cavities!

no, because a lot of times the dentists does a root canel to save the tooth, or they just fill it depends on the size of the cavity, or they take the tooth after the dentists looks and sees that theirs no saving this tooth they have to take the tooth, or just put a cap on it to make your teeth look even.

Doubtful, it's more money for them really. Although to the dentist that actually cares it might be disappointing to them to see you haven't been taking their advise.

no, somethihng in their brain goes cha ching and their eyeballs turn to $ $. then, while they're inside ur mouth, they do some other operations that they didn't even tell u about, and the next thing u no, he charged u $1000, at least that's what my doctor does

Probably. I'm going to ask my dentist that when I go next week.

Doubt it because they can only do so much to prevent one...

Even if you follow the recommended guidelines, there is still a chance of getting one.

It happens
