A dentist who doesn't take the concerns of his patients seriously. Very dangerous when a piece of paper, or several years of entraining in a field of indocrination, creates a physician who does not tailor their practice to the concerns of the patient.
It is the patient who has to bear the brunt of overly zealous practice norms in the dental peer group - and not science - but instead, monied sponsored research, by a money that comes from no work, instead nothing. Modern credit creation is a weaponized tool to keep dentistry in the dark ages, little different than bloodletting.
Whereas, ignored, is how other, safer and less invasive methods of restoring dental health are. Disregarded, by the dentist who is solidly in the least-common-denominator negative peer group of insubstantive money first, and real, thoughtful substantive patient care last.
When we are motivated by belief, such as in the approval of our peers, or a money system based on belief instead of substance, and overlook the primary participant, who is living substance, the creator of substance via uniquely human virtues, the molder of reality, via a brash adherance to dogma, we are nothing better than primitive religionists, carrying out our marching orders, instead of advanced scientists.
Science has saved us from stupid theories based on arrogance. Such as the sun orbits around the earth, or that the earth is flat. It clearly, from my expeiriences, needs to save this oral surgeon from the dogma of the mindset indocrinated at school, which is less about education than it is obedience to a preselected norm.
