As I sit here in physical pain from facial nerve damage which perhaps I'll never know exactly what went wrong, but I know for sure it is related to dentistry in one form or another (rc teeth perhaps making me more prone, dentists giving me poor tx, dentists doing unneeded work in my mouth.....etc.) I also feel emotionally distraught reading your post. One would like to think that people going into the medical field wish to help others. Once we reach adulthood, we realize that many go into these field for the money. But to think these same people are hurting others and know that they are doing so, is extremely upsetting. To think that there is a "shared" effort in hiding facts from patients is sickening. Thank you for your clear, well worded post explaining the situation. I will re-read it when I feel better. I do wish to learn more. Thank you for the work you do here.
