The Dental Racket

This morning, I endured a really difficult tooth extraction. It was a premolar, and I had no idea it had a bad cavity. I've been going for checkups, and had xrays just months ago.

In retrospect, the dental industry is just a greed racket and has always let me down. They're far removed from being medical professionals.

It seems to be comprised of immigrant doctors and sharp eyed office managers committed to extracting as much money as possible.

I've paid them tens of thousands of dollars, and have received back very little value.

It's pretty shameful.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Yeah, there really needs to be some dental insurance reforms.
