Due to the high cost of dental care. This 25 year old guy lost all but FOUR of his teeth. By 25! Thanks to the generosity and awareness by several people he now has a full sets of chompers again.

Check it out (the actual paper has better pics) :

Btw: The dentist who performed the work is my uncle...

Now if he can just go after the dentistry associations that lobby for fixed dental prices I will really be impressed.

Why do dental hygenists make $35/ hour.

I imagine I don't have all the facts correct here, so someone please correct me.

^ just think some kid making $min wage in your mouth with tools.

no thanks.

I much rather have someone who went to college or better making the big dollars fixing/cleaning my teeth than some welfare bum working for his/her cheque.
