Dentists are pulling healthy and treatable teeth to profit from implants, experts warn

  I had a dentist in Canada tell me all my front teeth needed to be removed, implants for the top and dentures for the bottom. I was 27. I’m now 38, still have all of those teeth he’d said needed replacing. The next dentist I saw was absolutely floored when I told her what he’d advised me to do. And if he hadn’t been such a condescending asshole, just a little bit more understanding that not everyone can afford consistent dental care… well…I’d probably have gone and had him do it.
