Patients already feel dentistry is too expensive; Do we really want to add to the expense?
 

If you pass this regulation, it is not only going to cause a large financial burden onto us (the practitioner), but also the patients that we see.  We will have no choice but to increase our fees to accommodate these changes.  Aren't  the insurance companies already making things bad enough? Does our own legislature also have to contribute to the publics financial burdens?  Don't let a couple of very unfortunate events cloud your judgement.  How long have Dentists been practicing dentistry and how many deaths have occurred in all those years?  You must look at the bigger picture and not at the smaller one just because you feel pressured by media or whom ever.  Do the right thing and rescind this nonsense.
