Detecting Dental Deception

Info below from Gary Null's website;

"The information on this website is not a substitute for diagnosis and treatment by a qualified, licensed professional.


When visiting the dentist, most of us probably trust that we are being given good advice and treated fairly, but considering the results of a recent investigation, sometimes our trust might be misplaced.

Armed with his dental X-rays, investigative reporter William Edenbarger visited 50 dentists in 28 states and the District of Columbia and asked them what dental work he needed. To his surprise, he received estimates for dental work that ranged from under $500 all the way up to $29,850.

Before conducting the investigation, Edenbarger had obtained the opinion of a panel of several dentists who had no financial interest in his teeth, and they concluded that the dental work required should not exceed $1,500. The members of the panel all agreed that he needed a crown on tooth #30, but that a crown on tooth #18 was debatable. In contrast, of the 50 dentists visited in the survey, one recommended 21 crowns and six veneers, and 15 dentists missed the fact that tooth #30 needed a crown. Only 12 of the dentists suggested work that was substantially in line with the panel.

According to one dental expert, these findings are "disturbing." Another said that people might want to get second and third opinions to insure proper dental care and fair pricing. But considering that Edenbarger only received 12 good recommendations out of 50, getting a couple extra opinions may not make much difference.

Americans pay about $42 billion a year to take care of their teeth. In 1994, the average income for dentists in private practice was $117,610.

Would like to take this one step further and introduce the concept of collaboration between three groups of corporate interest;

Dentistry

Aluminum corporations

Refined sugar corporate products; specifically Coca-cola

Is ok if u dismiss me as conspircay theorist and label me crazy, am already used to it..

Coca-cola contains refined sugars that adhere to tooth enamel and form plaque, the main cause of cavities. Coca-cola often comes in aluminum cans, fluoride is a byproduct of aluminum manufacture. Dentists promote fluoride as a protective measure that prevents cavities. Bioaccumulation of fluoride causes mottling and brittle teeth. The fluoride forms a stronger bond than the displaced hydroxl group and causes teeth to become more rigid..

If people didn't expose their teeth to refined sugar products like Coca-cola, cavities would not occur very often and dentists business would drop..

collaboration for increased cash profit is nothing new..

Question 4 the future;

Is there any economic influence in promoting more frequent use of radioactive X-rays?
