Dentists now only think about business

How far back those times seem when dentists were true superheroes, committed at all costs to saving our teeth! Only when there was no hope would they resort to extractions, crowns, bridges, or any other measures of that kind. Today, dentists only think about business, and their obsession is to put implants in us at all costs because it's the most expensive option. Dental clinics advertise themselves like cosmetic surgery clinics since what they sell us is the need for a "beautiful smile" (for which you need several implants), whereas before they were the repair shop we visited only when something was broken. But of course, fixing only breakages doesn't fill their offices or their pockets; that's why they now exaggerate and fix everything with implants instead of fillings, bridges, or crowns; with teeth cleanings every six months instead of annually; and even with scaling instead of cleaning, because the former is much more expensive than the latter, and it doesn't matter if it might cause serious problems like tooth loss, etc. Because if that happens, it's better for them as they'll have a new client for implants.
