    The Australian Dental Association are fucking scum who have successfully fought and bribed for Medicare to exclude dental

    A pox upon them for their greed and avarice, at the expense of the health of the many

    The link between poor dental health and cardiac disease is quite remarkable

    There are too many dentists willing to accept increased mortality in the population as a whole, just so they can get richer

    Fuck 'em with a wire brush

      The Australian dental association actually lobby for it to be included. However, they have valid concerns about fees being appropriate for the costs.

      People think dentists are greedy and rich due to the cost of care provision. The profit margin is not that high and salaries, like everyone’s, have not risen in line with inflation. They started high, historically, though.

      They do pretty well and are quite comfortable generally, so they don’t need sympathy but they are not the wealth hoarders that you think they are.
