I don't see anything in the article that's new, in spite of the title. I had a dentist in 2005 tell me I needed two root canals, replacement of a bunch of teeth, and other things I don't remember. As I was leaving, the lady at the desk was trying to intimidate me into getting the root canals scheduled before I left the office. It was absolutely imperative that I get the work done. I knew he was a crook, so I ignored everything he said and went to a different dentist for my next regular appointment. That dentist only found a few minor things to keep an eye on in case they got worse. To my knowledge, there are no checks on these scam artists. At least for gasoline stations they'll check the accuracy every so often.
