@ApaulD when Medicare was created the dentistry industry argued that they shouldn’t be part of it. Since then they have tried to justify their expensive existence. They also get #gst exemption under Howard.

So now #dentists have to keep justifying how important they are, and they are, but their previous greed kind of doesn’t help them.

I think it's #confession time today. 😅 I have to admit that I neglected my teeth health for most of my life, partly because I was extremely afraid by dentists and anesthesia which made dealing with dentistry even harder. BUT I was forced to visit a dentist on a Sunday earlier this year because of an abscess on one of my front teeth. There I realized that mich has changed in 20 years, including me, and I finally could overcome my fear. Last week my final new dental bridge was "installed" and I can finally eat without pain again. It's also great to be able to laugh without fear of people seeing your bad teeth. #dentists #teeth #shame

@HI_Greens Indeed - that wouldn't surprise me at all! I can very well imagine the existence of #Neanderthals with that sort of #knowledge. If there were #Neanderthal #dentists, why not Neanderthal #doctors & #pharmacists? They probably didn't divide up the roles like we do.

You've heard of "Dark Side of the Moon." This morning, I am "Numb Side of the Face."

I don’t think dentists actually want to see patients any more. Trying to find one that has an opening and that takes our insurance has become an impossible struggle. One made my wife cry this morning, and then hung up on me when I called back. Granted, I was angry, but they made my wife cry.

In the course of my lifetime, the US has become a third world country driven by anger. #dentists #scam #wtf
