Dentist Visits

You don’t really need to visit the dentist every 6 months →

The more you read about dentists, the more you realize that much of dental care isn’t based upon evidence. We assume that all medical professionals are all talented, but the reality is that they’re just human, so their skills probably conform to a standard bell curve distribution across all of them, ie. your dentist might actually suck.

We also assume they’re all trust-worthy, but I think we’ve all collected enough anecdotes to show that this isn’t true. Mine: The first dentist I went to after my childhood one said that I had six cavities the first time I went to him. And then five the next time. I wish I knew then what I know now.
