    My mother in law was an office manager at a dentist. Dentists have sales quotas and have bonuses to everyone in the office for upselling.

    You go in to a medical professional for health care and advice and they try and sell to you.

      That’s weird. I’ve never ever had any dentist try to sell me anything except for coming up with solutions to problems I have with my teeth. Never up selling or anything

        Yeah. It’s extremely common. Fluoride treatments, sealants, crown replacements aren’t necessary. And things like veneers, and whiting are pushed pretty hard.

      You obviously were not at my last ED visit.
