Many dentists are scammers.
https://gimletmedia.com/shows/science-vs/awhmabel discussed a European study where 30% of dentists wanted to perform unnecessary work.
In 2018, I saw 4 dentists that each wanted to do a lot of work - but in many cases, they didn't agree on which teeth. Finally I found a good dentist and needed minimal work done for 6 years. Sadly, that dentist is no longer in practice, so I've tried new dentists.
#1 wanted 11 fillings. #2 wanted 7 fillings and 2 crowns. #3... said no work was needed.
