Isn't there a dentist somewhere who will just do all your stuff for free to take one for the profession and end all the guilt tripping caviling and winging? Maybe one of those compassionate third worlders or unqualified auxiliaries who they flooded in for cost reduction. After all, it's what you wanted.

Funny the way I stopped needing a filling every year when my Dad changed jobs and stopped using the company dentist of my childhood.

I dated a gal who used to work in a dental mill and she had some stories! Worst was a 15yo girl with perfectly healthy teeth and on Medi-Cal. They got approval and funding to file down ALL of her perfectly healthy teeth and install crowns! The family was actually grateful to the dental office because they paid little to nothing out of pocket.

The so called "Credit dentist" chains hire indebted fresh graduates and pressure the fuck out of them to sell profitable procedures. This has been well known for decades.

Of course, there are the usual suspects who don't diagnose patients, they diagnose insurance coverage and render a treatment plan accordingly up to the limits of coverage. Guess who clamor to breach our borders to engage in such plundering of our social welfare networks?

It goes all the way up the medical food chain. In California, MediCal indictments are regular, but probably don't cover a fraction of the abuses. There were heart surgeons conducting heart operations on healthy patients a couple of years ago 'because coverage' that were caught.

Yes, these things happen. The psychology of free shit is a bizarre and contradictory one.
