My dad was a dentist in a small, rural town. He cared a great deal about the quality of his work. He died 17 years ago, and my family still runs into his patients who mention how their new dentists rave about the durability of his work.
So, there are dentists who aren’t in it just for the money. It is anecdotal, but so is the article. For that matter, the bad dentist was caught by a good dentist.
Also, I miss my dad.

- bombcar 4y agoI wonder if there's some correlation between rural dentists and quality of care. On one side you'd have the argument that they're probably in less need of money and so can be more honest, because if they wanted more money/patients they'd move to the cities, on the other, if they're the only business around they can do whatever they'd want. I strongly suspect it leans toward the former though, as even a small town will have multiple dentists, and many of the rural dental offices are basically hereditary.
