I’m pretty convinced the whole field of dentistry is BS. I’ve had a bunch of times where they said I had a massive problem needing lots of expensive work- one dentist said I had 22 cavities that needed filling. I have simply never done any of it- I’m middle aged and have had no dental work done ever- and the next dentist months or years later makes no mention of whatever supposedly serious problem the previous one found. I can really only think of 3 likely explanations: (1) our teeth actually repair cavities on their own and dentists simply don’t know this, (2) there is no reliable objective process to diagnose a cavity that is repeatable from one dentist to another, (3) lastly some sizable fraction of dentists are con artists with no integrity or ethics. Personally, I would not be at all surprised if all 3 were true.
