Gone a bit off topic but have to say apart from when they first came through my wisdoms been my least problematic teeth. No pain no work done.

Lost a front fang in 1988. The replacement insert cost $500.00. It fell out. Back to the dentist for a replacement. Another $500.00 thank you very much. It fell out again. I gave up.
Avoided dentists like the plague until I had to have a tooth pulled a couple of years ago. I was told to replace the front fang would now cost $6000.00. You can buy a decent car for that money.
The moral of the story is that if you want a comfortable retirement get your children into dental school at any cost.
Forget used car salesmen and real estate agents, compared to dentists they are models of probity and honesty.
Mediaeval robber barons could take lessons from dentists.

Regards, Warwick

LOL you might be right remember my dentist from 20 odd years ago was taking helicopter lessons & he already owned a light plane.

Yes as "topic drifts" go this one has certainly been an overachiever ...(though it has been both informative and entertaining

)

Sometimes a trip down the rabbit hole can be both
