Dental charges too prohibitive I am writing out of concern for what is going on in the dental "industry." It has become an impossible situation. When the cost of having a root canal and a cap put on just one tooth is more than $2,000, who can afford it?

While dentists work to "preserve teeth," they have made it impossible for many to do that by the outrageous fees they charge. It is indeed a sad situation when people have to endure intolerable pain/discomfort and can only go to a dentist as a last resort. What is even worse is when they cannot afford what needs to be done and have no choice other than having the tooth pulled. It has become less painful to the body and the pocketbook to "gum it" for the rest of your life. Preventive care? In actuality, the costs are preventing care

1945 Human Experiment Predicts Current Fluoride Ill Effects In 1945 dentists set out to prove that adding fluoride chemicals into public water supplies safely prevented children's tooth decay.
