Blankguy,
If you ever get into dental school and find out what it's really like to be a dentist, you will find that being mercinary will be your ultimate downfall. Your recent posts have been filled with comments about dental fees and how you think that dentists are out to get the public, especially you. You have no idea what the expenses and government controls can do to make fees like you are hearing necessary. Basically the consumers out there want to have the government control everything in the office to protect the patients. That's something we have been doing on our own since the beginning. The regulations have increased the cost of dentistry tremendously, without changing much at all. The public also wants to see high tech glitzy cameras and computer images that truthfully don't better the treatment much for the cost involved.
Blank, you also have to consider that someone who has dedicated thier life to this field and spends so much time in school and continuing education needs to have a return on thier investment. These people have done without any luxuries in thier life, training and going into tremendous debt, and deserve to start living a decent life. Don't bitch about the cost of something until you have some idea of what it takes to be able to deliver it. If you think that this game is driven purely by money, you are wrong. You don't have a very good idea of what is really in store for you.
