Speaker 1 (00:00):
Some of the texts were still getting about my screen
about going to the dentist the other day, or what
do you call the dentist who does bracest orthodontist, orthodontist person,
and they still getting texts on that. I did learn
more after I got off the air. Well, the very
short version of the story is the guy was doing
his whole sales pitch to my kid and not to me,
and I asked him to just talk to me. Could

(00:21):
the kid leave my son? The kid? Could my son
leave the room, And he like defied me, and I
got I lost my temper and hated him. But I
found out later from some people in the biz, and
I'll be very vague because I don't want to get
him in trouble for that. But some people in the
biz with orthodontists saying, oh God, run, don't walk from

(00:42):
that place. I don't even engage that particular business because
they're so what they seemed to be to you.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
So ah, there you go.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
I guess it was not a big revelation to anyone.
Watch out for the upsell, I guess. In the world
of dentistry, oh.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, yeah, I've seen a range of approaches from very
conservative and very honorable to utterly naked dishonesty trying to
get your money out of you. Oh look at you.
You got by cuspid triple axel syndrome. Yeah, we got
to take care of that, by cuspid triple axel syndrome. Goodbye,

(01:23):
take care of that today, whatever it costs, I don't
care if an insurance doesn't cover it. Oh and look
at that, you've got it in five different teeth. Did
I mention that? Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket. But on
the other hand, I've had two dentists in twenty five years.
They've both been paragons of ethics, So good for them,
