If anyone is wondering why poor people were targeted more, I'd hazard an educated guess on some of the "complex" factors: 1. The poor are less likely to seek a second opinion. 2. And, less likely to be able to sue. The near complete lack of accountability might even be the main reason. 3. Some people associate how much money you make with how 'worthy' a person you are. There are likely quite a few dentists who quietly 'justify' unnecessary treatment based on that line. People don't seem surprised that 50 out of 180 dentists would fuck up your teeth for money - because we know what dentists are like, and many of us share similar experience. I certainly do. I have some kind of nerve damage from a shitty dentist, was recommended unnecessary fillings and root canals, etc. 50 out of 180 isn't a normal error rate - it's the mark of a broken industry, crying out for overhaul and accountability. Where are the "good" dentists speaking out on this? In my experience even the good ones make excuses for the shysters.
