re: Dentistry is a scam

True story. Had a filling break off that I got when I was about 8/9 years old. Went for my normal yearly check up and the dentist asked, like he always does, how's everything going. I explained to him I crunched on a cracklin and boom it worked. Cracklined my filling right off. Before I went to the dentist, I found out it was a wisdom tooth I hadn't had removed. Had two removed when I was in the AF, left the two on my left side, and it was one of those. After he looked at the tooth he said, we can put a cap on that with no problem. I've already had one capped and insurance doesn't pay for that shite. He rolls out the room to treat other patients while the dental tech does the cleaning. He comes back and says set up an appointment and we'll cap that bad boy up and make it better and stronger and you'll be eating cracklins in no time. I say Dr. why don't we just pull it and be done with. He laughs and says to me, hey, don't go rogue on me. I say Dr. it's a wisdom tooth, jerk it. He finally gives in and says okay and had it pulled two weeks later. $75.00 compared to $750.00. Yea, it's a scam.
