    Never trust a medical profession that hasn’t changed their standard techniques since the Dark Ages. And it also explains why they didn’t join medical doctors in the AMA and created their own ADA with hookers, cocaine and blackjack.

      Look, I hate them too, but they aren’t Bender. Don’t hold them to a standard that’s impossible.

      Omg, did it just take my >20y to associate Bender with drinking on a bender? I’m so stupid.

      The dentist I use now is also a maxillofacial surgeon.
      She discovered that my previous dentist was completely ignoring issues that would have left me toothless, lose part of my jaw, and even kill me with meningitis.
      And the guy had made a TAC that clearly showed it all. Dude was laser-focused on getting just implants and more implants to rack those bucks, let tooth repair be damned.
      I was lucky that the infection was kept perfectly isolated for years in a granuloma, because my freakishly high pain threshold kept me from noticing it at all.
      I’m not going to a ‘dentist’ who just studied ‘dentistry’ ever again.
