Here’s an easy heuristic:
The trust you should afford to a dentist is inversely proportional to the amount of time and energy that dentist promotes teeth whitening products and solutions.
- bigDinosaur 4y agoProbably a good heuristic, but weirdly I've never had a dentist try to sell me a single whitening product of any kind. Unfortunately that hasn't prevented some of my dentists from being terrible. Thankfully some of the bad ones have given me such obviously bad advice ('wait until you start feeling pain before you come back to me') that I knew to find another one pronto. I wonder if pushing products differs a lot between countries, my experience is exclusively of Australian dentists, I'd be curious to know if anyone has experience in multiple countries!
- pestatije 4y ago> wait until you start feeling pain That's actually good advice for some sort of cavities...the filling could fall if it is too shallow.
