Well there are categories of dentists, the ones that keep it real with you and tell you what you really NEED to address for example an infection/abscess is a serious thing that can go septic and be life threatening, there are lazy idiot dentists who have no business practicing, and there are used car salesmen type dentists who will use whatever tactics necessary to try to get you to spend as much money as possible, my dentist is the first type hence why I've gone only to her for over 20 years now, she breaks things down into need, recommend and "eh not a big deal" and has always done good work and been fair, ALL professional services have to be vetted, there is no sacred profession you can just trust blindly without getting burned
I have been to two types scammers and legit. When I was about 12 my mom took me to the local dentist. He treated me until I was 18. He was awful. It always hurt, something was always wrong, except for the two years I had braces and was going to an ortho (I had a severe overbite that would have caused problems later on so we went to a dental school). I didn't think about the pattern until much later. By the time I was done with him I had 7 fillings. A few of them done multiple times. All mercury.
I moved out of state and went to another dentist who was just an asshole. Constantly telling the hygienists I was scum etc (he used laughing as and so figured I wouldn't hear or remember but the ladies always gave me a way to control the amount since it freaked me out).
I stopped going because I was spending my hard earned money just getting berated. It was a small town and I wasn't going to drive far to see a new one. Moved around some more ended up in a relationship with someone who wouldn't let me see the dentist. My brother sent me an article. The dentist we went to killed himself during a trial for malpractice. He had been doing fillings and other unnecessary work to rip people off.
Fast forward 20 years. Another side of the country. I decide to go. Saved up figuring it was going to be bad. They were so sweet there. The hyegnists had a ball cleaning my teeth because of the difference that they could see. The dentist said I had one small cavity that I could wait on if I wanted. I mentioned I avoid fluoride and they put it on my chart and have given me no trouble and don't offer it any longer. I asked to have my mercury fillings replaced. He had no problems with it and did it over two sessions and fixed a chipped tooth for 35$.
I don't dread going to the dentist although they do spike me with Vax proteins and I've learned to take NAC before I go. I feel like this guy is honest and he listens which is amazing to me.
There are more bad ones than good ones. It's lucrative because they can tell you just about anything and it's hard to dispute. But there are good ones out there.
It's why I had them taken out. I have hashimoto's thyroiditis and other random autoimmune issues. I've had them gone for a few months and for the first time in years reduced my thyroid meds. I am going to get my labs done and if this doctor is cool I can get him to run the TPO test (otherwise I'll just order it myself but I figure I'll give this guy a chance to listen to me) and I can see if my thyroid antibodies are actually lower.

Mecury "silver" fillings are poison and many dentists know it. https://conspiracies.win/p/12iNeAqK8q/your-dentist-hates-you--mercury-/
... don't chew nuts? Can you tell me why? I never thought about nuts as bad for the teeth.
Interesting. Thanks.
what is the demographic profile of dentists (in terms of %jews) ?
searched for a few minutes and found some demographics but not that one for some reason...
