Date: October 28th, 2026 3:02 PM Author: Tirant Lo Blanc Any other part of the body, I can tell my primary doc there is a problem and they’ll check it out. If they can’t fix it themselves they’ll send you to a specialist but they’ll at least try. But if you did that with a toothache they’d tell you to gtfo, there’s a whole different vertical for that. I’m not an expert but I refuse to believe teeth are more complicated than hearts, knees, ears, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5915613&forum_id=2#50209959) |

Date: October 28th, 2026 3:45 PM Author: gibberish (?) I think they're treated as cosmetic. Dental procedures are extremely expensive and often not covered by Medicare. Plus there is a hint of moral failure if you have shit teeth. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5915613&forum_id=2#50210074) |

Date: October 28th, 2026 4:17 PM Author: Tirant Lo Blanc I get that with stuff like braces, but basic teeth cleaning and whatnot should not be considered cosmetic. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5915613&forum_id=2#50210212) |

Date: October 28th, 2026 6:03 PM Author: gibberish (?) I'm talking root canal and shit that costs thousands of dollars. Cheaper to let prole teeth fall out. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5915613&forum_id=2#50210494) |
Date: October 28th, 2026 3:57 PM Author: UhOh dentists started out in barbershops. they were butchers, mechanics. i don't know for sure but i'm guessing the "serious" doctors did everything they could to exclude them from the practice of medicine.
also it's not *completely* separate, see oral surgeons. kind of a weird niche though. |

Date: October 28th, 2026 6:38 PM Author: t.rick o'treat panama some get md's, but most are dds. not sure if it's always dental insurance tho, our neighbor has hospital privileges and gets called in to the er at times. there is some degree of overlap in terms of what an oral surgeon can do and an ent.

Date: October 28th, 2026 4:15 PM Author: Tirant Lo Blanc True but if my foot hurts, my regular doctor will try to help. Not so with the teeth. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5915613&forum_id=2#50210204) |

Date: October 28th, 2026 6:40 PM Author: t.rick o'treat panama if it's chronic they send you to a podiatrist
dds/dmd, od, and dpm are all 'doctors' in areas where there is a high volume of routine work that medical doctors don't want to deal with. cleanings, eye exams, orthotics, etc. |
