I think this is a great idea. This dental hygienist went viral on TikTok for encouraging people to smell their floss after flossing to check for gum disease—specifically periodontitis. While it seems like a pretty gross method, it could also really encourage people to come into the office if they can identify something wrong at home. Do you think this is a good idea?

What makes people do things like this? Not only practicing any type of dentistry without a license but using chemicals on a patient and advertising fake services online? Do you feel like there's been an uptick in fake dental practices since things like veneers, and other aesthetic dental procedures have become more popular? I feel like people think they can make more money from this now, so they'll try anything..

I can't believe people still do this. What do you think about "Turkey teeth" aka people traveling to Turkey to get veneers or other cosmetic dental procedures done for cheaper than they are in the US or the UK? I can only think about the horror stories and I'm glad the BBC is trying to draw attention to them. I would only ever go to see a local dentist if I wanted to get cosmetic dental work.

Any one in the Richmond/Rosenberg area? I'm looking for a patient care coordinator with minimum of 1yr experience in dental field.

What do you think about this? Do you think dentistry has a lot of "mean girl energy" like nursing? Or do you feel like the profession is more male-dominated? My cohort is very male-dominated, but I'm not sure if that's just where I go to school.

Why does this keep happening more and more frequently? I know a lot of people go into dentistry for the money, and I won't pretend that it isn't lucrative. But why do we see so many dentists and practice managers stealing from patients or lying on their taxes? Combined with people handing out veneers and nitrous like candy, it's making the whole industry look bad. Am I wrong here?
