This article was run in 1997. It reads exactly like what a modern dental experience is. If dentists want to start drilling, capping, or pulling. Go get a second opinion. I was referred to the Otho within my dentists office to look at my wisdom teeth. I was not in pain, they weren’t impacted, instead I was told “It’s a standard practice just to check.” It was supposed to be a consultation, but the ortho wanted to rip them out right then and there. He was frustrated at my insistence that we understand the total cost after insurance. I was awake for the procedure, local anesthetic only. My dentist at the next visit looked at my X-rays and asked why I got my wisdom teeth out. The ortho was no longer with them. Good riddance
