Dentists get welfare for the rich in the form of tuition and dental school subsidies.

Organized dentistry, rich with money from corporations who profit from the dental materials and products that dentists need and use, lobby our legislators to get federal, state, and local laws passed that benefit their pockets but not our teeth. In return, the ADA gives out a seal of approval to dental products making even more money for the corporations.

Dentists won't actually seat people in their chairs without patients showing them the money or wonderful insurance or who sign a loan agreement. But, they've convinced you that fluoridation is beneficial and that it really hurts their own bottom line. Yeah right.

Dentists should be mandated to treat X number of low income individuals a year. We know they love mandates because they are behind every fluoridation mandate in the country, in effect contaminating our water supplies with unnecessary and harmful fluoride chemicals, and giving the false impression they give a hoot about low-income individuals.

A problem-dentist faces a dental board made up mostly of dentists who are there to protect their industry not you. Then try to get one dentist to testify in court against another dentist who damaged your mouth.

After sixty years of water fluoridation and ADA fluoride endorsements, tooth decay is a growing crisis along with fluoride overdose symptoms - dental fluorosis, now afflicting up to 48% of school children, according to the Centers for Disease Control. But fluoridated toothpaste has become a multi-billion international industry.

Dentists make upwards to tens of thousands of dollars covering up these fluoride discolored teeth with veneers, caps, bonding, and/or micro abrasion.

Don't get me started.

you should get your facts straight, if you are going to make silly accusations can you cite your "facts" with real world studies.
Get a haircut and a real job.
