This video is a gem. Not too many doctors are willing to expose this kind of corruption/scams. I once was told I had 16 cavities and the bill would have been in the thousands. I went for a second opinion and they could only find two cavities.

I nearly got scammed on the cavities, but I changed dentists due to insurance coverage. When I asked my new doc about all the cavities the previous doctor wanted me to fill, he was baffled because I had zero cavities. 😮

At last someone reveals the truth about dentist instead of GPs . I get emails from dentist asking to come for routine dent cleaning. I once went for tooth nerve troubling me. he treated the nerve and a day later half of that tooth fell off. I went back to see what options they have to remove tooth and replace, they gave a whole dissertation about implants and told me not to extract the half broken tooth if I want to replace it with implant . I am told it is best to remove that broken tooth when I am ready to do implant. so did some research, went back to surgery, got it removed, and replaced it with £2 . I bought tiny bottle of beas, 15 beas in hot water to mould it to a tooth and 6 month using this chinese fake tooth work fine, I can remove, disinfect, and put back. all of this for £2

I’ve had some terrible experiences with dentists and Drs. I just don’t trust the medical industry at all anymore. When I was a young woman living on my own in my early 20s, a middle aged male dentist in Irvine, CA told me that I had a dozen cavities. I was so horrified that I started crying. I had never had a cavity in my life. I went for a second opinion, thank God. That dentist was a very friendly older Taiwanese fella who told me I had one cavity that was still too small to fill. That first psychopath was going to drill a dozen holes in my perfectly healthy teeth and charge me an arm and a leg. The greed in this country is out of control.

I had a dentist who after my first appointment with him, he claimed that I needed over $10, 000 worth of work done. I got a second opinion and only needed $1, 000 worth of work done.

Im glad i seen this video. I know that i need work but i feel like I’m being sold something more than i feel like my health is being addressed.

I’m an assistant and I’ve worked with scammy dentists but i always have a hard time being honest with the patient because they are not discreet. I’ve had patients throw me under the bus with the dentist after I tried to be honest with them. So I learned my lesson not helping yall anymore lol

I like that you said that. I'm actually looking for a new dentist because of the constant upsell. I took my child in because she had a toothache and it had a hole. They took xray and had me come back. They never treated the tooth just sold deep cleanings for us both which I didn't need because I've got no plaque. Fast fwd the tooth broke I call them to get it pulled and they made the appt. When we get there it's more xrays and more upsell. Then they tell me I have to join a membership thing and I'll get a che k from my insurance company. They still don't fix my childs tooth and now they're calling texting me to come in. So no longer accept insurance want me to pay 3500 for a cleaning. Before they'll even get the broken tooth out of her mouth. It's making her breath bad and they turned me off. When I said I csnt afford the upsell they're pushing and didn't want a membership because it's like I'm paying for 2 insurance plan. It turns people away from the dentist. After watching videos I learned we did not need xrays on every visit which were always 60days or less apart. And I never see the dentist herself there but she's on magazine commercials etc. I dead their call because I hear cash register dings. 😢

Hi doctor, the fact that you are revealing these scams indicate you have good morality compared to most of the other dentists. My family is currently undergoing dispute of dentist fraud (thank god I caught it early). I was wondering if I can contact you and talk to you. Society needs a lot more people like you, I truly believe that. If you don't have time, it is okay. this video is already doing god's work.

At a dentist, they made me pay extra for a suppostly higher quality crown. 5 years later, the crown came loose just as my less inexpensive crown. I was scammed. So dont pay extra for better material crown. It is not worth it.

Also, the same practice asked me to get like 4 root canals that when I went to another dentist I did not needed. It was 2 years later when I finally needed a root canal

My dental insurance plan is supposed to cover 100% of whatever I want until it runs out and I went to an office and they didn't cover it even though the office is literally in the 100% coverage category on the website... So now I'm in the process of trying to find another dentist and I don't know why because I'm pretty sure this is just an insurance issue... They wanted like 3, 500 for a cleaning which I was just astounded by

@Justadentist_ I have a question for you and I'm glad I found your video. I am 55 and take good care of my teeth and always make a habit of going every 6 mos. Yesterday I had my gums measured and had mostly 2's and 3's and a couple 4's and I think two 5's. X rays showed nothing and no cavities. So she tells me I need a whole mouth deep cleaning. Will cost me $646 and I don't understand why it's necessary to have my whole mouth root planed when there were only a few spots with 4 and 5. I mean does it make sense to do my whole mouth? I have an appt. next Friday the 8th for my whole mouth and they tell me it will take about an hour. So when they deep clean the 2's and 3's what do they do on those good teeth?
