I think dentistry should be part of the general medical system instead of being its own realm. It has better checks and balances and there would be less incentive to harm patients for profit. The current dentistry system makes it easy to do things that are against the patients well being. Many Dentists have a solo practice where they need to generate income to keep the doors open so they lean towards work that is profitable for them. I'm sure there are many dentists that do their best to minimize having to work on a patient but I'm sure that there many that have no problem trying to get the most money out of a patient. I'm surprised there hasn't been a push towards creating a specialty like Doctor of Dental Medicine in medical schools. A guess there's no incentive to do it.
