An ex-dentist attempted to strong arm me into a receiving an occlusal adjustment because my TMJ popped during a single visit. I knew this permanent procedure is rarely the best solution for the scenario. The dentist subsequently became irate and told me, "You'll lose all your teeth and look like an AIDs patient!" You can probably guess what era he's from.

I wanted to file a complaint, but it would've been my word against his, his assistant, and his hygienist. Absolutely ridiculous situation. It also provided a snapshot into how medical professionals exploit patient ignorance for revenue.
