Are you aware some of us can’t afford that?
Since OP has firm views about what dentists says, I'm going to assume that they visit the dentist on occasion.
I’m not. I read the lit and do what I can.
Ah yeah this hits a nerve for me: the idea that some individuals are the arbiters of medical science and knowledge. Answers to questions like "why should I brush my teeth" is something to be found in a textbook, hopefully at a public library, not to be dispensed out by some individual with fat fees.
I still need the dental pro. I just can’t access one, currently.
Are you aware that the question was not directed at you?
And? It’s a public discussion.
This, so much!
It really makes me angry, that there is no free dental hygiene training for children/teenagers.
I life in a comparatively rich society (Germany), but our retarded health care system pumps billions every year in preventable diseases (like most dental problems) and exactly zero in prophylaxes.
