I put dentistry right in with the rest of the medical mafia. Hadn’t seen one in over a decade, but to appease my spousal unit I did go for a checkup about a year ago when he chose a new dentist after we moved. The hygienist ask me more than once, has it really been more than ten years since your last checkup? She told my teeth and gums looked better than people who came every six months. I barely spoke to the dentist who gave me flying colors for my excellent hygiene. When I went to pay, the receptionist handed me bag with toothpaste containing fluoride… it was then that I became rather vocal so that those sitting in the area could hear me. “You’ve handed me toothpaste containing fluoride? REALLY?!!! I cannot believe you are handing this poison out to your patients!!! SHAME ON YOU ALL! Educate yourselves about this crap and stop pushing it?” Haven’t returned and will not in the future! Poor hubby can’t shut me up, and after 25+ years together, doesn’t even try!
