American society is a massive scheme designed to extract value from working men and funnel it to dentists. If you don't keep your wits about you a dentist will get every dollar you have.

Sitting there at work and the realization that everything you're earning is going to go straight into a dentist's pocket hits you like a freight train

@ripplebrain I need some teeth in the back to be removed and to have dental implants + braces, which will cost me in the ballpark of around 3-4K $. Out of principle of not enriching dentists, I find this choice economically inefficient atm, and maybe ever.

@Aly_jezzini Did you try getting a second opinion?

@ripplebrain They are all the same. tbf it's just cosmetic, it won't matter if you get Jdammed, maybe making the identification even harder.
