Aspen Dental is apparently a big scam shop. I went to one once and after taking more than a dozen x-rays they told me I had 4 molar cavities. Immediately called bullshit and got a second opinion from my previous dentist, who said my teeth were fine. Ten years later, still no cavities. Aspen didn't send any goons after me though

My dentist doesn't do poo poo like that. Hell, after I had a tooth break, he could have said I needed a root canal or some poo poo, but told me all I needed was a crown. When I had my wisdom teeth out, the extractions were done in a couple of minutes and my recovery was painless. I now realize how very fortunate I am to have a good guy dentist.

Its one of those professions like car mechanic where most people don't know much about the service they're getting so its real easy for them to tack on extra stuff.

They already put a 500% markup or thereabouts on the materials, tricking people into getting poo poo they don't need is pure unnecessary greed. When I was getting my veneers done the nurse was chatting about how her dentist father used (or previously used?) clear nail polish as a sealant for some part of the process. When my partner did practice setups once an ortho showed him how they made night guards and, I don't think he mentioned how long they spend making the models themselves, but it's just a tricked out 3D printer with a few cents worth of plastic. $500.

That's why I get my dental care from the one profession you can trust: chiropractic medicine. See, tooth decay is caused by blocked nerve signals in your neck and furthermore

Brother, could I interest you in a homeopathic remedy containing one-part-per-million plaque that gives you an immunity to tooth decay? *spits in your mouth*

Everyone I know with a physical disability has a sense of humour about it, but they all also have standard transactional responses to poo poo like that because it happens like every time they go to a restaurant or whatever.

It should be worth noting that visual impairment isn't always 100% and even if you see a guy walk into a restaurant with a cane you should still hand him a menu and if he needs assistance or a braille menu he can ask for it.

When I was a kid we switched to a new dentist because they were in a better location and she claimed I had some ridiculous amount of cavities like 8 or 9. My mom was pissed at me for like a week telling me how much I was going to cost her and why couldn't I brush better etc. Then we went back to the first dentist and he said there was nothing wrong. Anyway that blind kid story might be believable if it wasn't told in traditional tuMBLR STYLE WHERE THEY START TALKING IN ALL CAPS IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE IT FUNNIER.

Yeah but someone acted like a calendar entry made five years ago being on your current phone was weird and/or unrealistic, while that would in fact be the default, regardless of your amount of phone-transitions. Unless of course you use your phone wrong, like the people who go "new phone who dis" despite numbers being transferred between phones being a thing even before android (as contacts could be stored on your sim, if you didn't turn that off for no good reason)

Good Lord please stop talking about calendars It seems more ridiculous that anyone would actually make a "20 year plan" and set actual dates for milestones like "wedding." I think that type of life planning stuff is dumb anyway, like are you just going to settle with whoever you have because it's time to get married on your schedule? Or be depressed because you're behind schedule? Relationships should develop naturally not be forced into a certain time frame. I feel like this is more of a thing with women, mostly to do with the actual time limitations of having children with someone. It's pretty short sighted though.

He would always talk about his marriage as being right on schedule. He's now divorced way ahead of schedule. You'd be surprised how many people get married just because they feel like it's expected of them.
