In the same sense, we all need to provide of your families and employees and this means having a business. Giving back once a year is better than nothing at all. Great post.

Are you kidding me? It's their loser parents who aren't educated enough to get a decent job and pay for dental insurance. It's not the ultimate responsibilty of dentists to take care of people's kids, even if they are poor: it's the responsibility of the parents. If they knew they couldn't afford proper dental hygiene for their kids, why did they have them in the first place? And further more, dentists are paid a lot of money, but there's a good reason for that: they work for it! Do you have any idea how much dental school costs and how many years of school someone has to complete to become a dentist? Probably not, or you wouldn't be bashing the dental communityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19275742.post-17361680662405046532009-02-11T00:34:00.000-05:002009-02-11T00:34:00.000-05:00Good points Sally.

It is sure nice to see others coming out against the American Dental Association as they polish their public image to manipulate state legislators into doing things, "corporate ADA's ways." Why doesn't the American Dental Association stop the corporate waste and take steps to spend money in more productive ways instead of big fancy buildings, flamboyant meetings and Federal monies for research that educates the dentist for a better bottom line that fills their pockets while dentistry gets more expensive and out of range for the average American.<BR/><BR/>Wasn’t it the Food and Drug Administration that originally come out with the warnings on fluoride and our babies? The ADA jumped on board after FDA announced it. This reminds me of the dental crown and bridge outsourcing supported by the American Dental Association and then after the NADL National Association of Dental Laboratories report to the FDA regarding lead and other poisonous metals in our dental crown and bridge coming back from overseas, the American Dental Association takes credit for reporting it to the Food and Drug Administration. ADA should have credited NADL for taking a stand not ADA. ADA continues to give us the ADA corporate greed stamp of approval like they did and continue to do with fluoride. Here in the United States, the American Dental Association continues to fight, the denturist, dental health aide therapist, and independent dental hygienist.<BR/><BR/> We need independent practices and more college programs for dental hygienists. Independent practice for hygienists will free-up hygienists for more public health services and the freedom to establish fees without the dentist overhead. There should be one or more dental hygienists in every public health clinic. Dental hygienists should have their own boards, independent of the dental boards.
