Dentists Keep Mum on Quality of Colleagues’ Dental Work (video)

January 12, 2010 By Julie Frey 3 Comments

Two of three dentists say they avoid criticizing their colleagues’ work. Is this professional courtesy? A high ethical standard? Deep-seated fear of lawyers?

"There are many factors out of the doctor's control (we all know what those are)," said a periodontist, "and what comes around goes around."

(Probably it's the lawyers. A sleep dentist once told me he lived in fear of them.)

"Cosmetic dentists are the worst offenders of bad-mouthing other dentists," vented one dentist. "They imply other dentist do ugly dentistry."

Bolstering your income by habitually criticizing other Dentists work is a cancer on our profession.
My suggestion to any Dentist ,young or old, is to immediatly grow some balls and call the accusing Dentist on the Phone immediatly. Usually the accusing Dentist becomes terrified and stammers on the phone and never will try this con on you and your ex patints again. He or SHE will move on to the next patsy ,weak kneed Dentist to accuse!
I agree the most Dentists pulling this con are the supposid Cosmetic Dentists.This group has been especially affected by the economy and will stop at nothing to con ,overtreat and accuse perficly good dental work as being bad!
