My 25-year-old daughter called me in tears this week.

She went to a new dentist who strongly recommended very expensive work to remediate the imminent self-destruction of her entire mouth.

I asked why the change in dentists, to which she replied that this was a brand new office, very close to her house.

I asked her what her previous dentist recommended, to which she replied nothing but periodic routine cleanings.

Then I explained how private equity operates. She did some cursory research and took it from there. #prouddad

I had a real-life situation similar to that when I was in college. I went to a new dentist and he did xrays and the whole nine yards for a new patient. It was November and by some miracle I needed the exact amount of work done that my insurance would cover for the remaining of the year, but he also strongly suggested to get some additional work done after the calendar year on my new insurance.

A quick google search shows he has not been in business since shortly after that time.

That's a rookie move. Should have strung her along for a couple of cleanings and then delivered the big news. Don't worry, it will get worse. While on one hand they charge for unnecessary stuff, they also deliver the basic stuff with poor quality. We just keep lowering the bar in the name of cheap service. The dumbing down of America.
