That is the weirdest thing I ever heard of; but all the dentist I've ever known are a little touched in the head, anyway. I should know; I'm related to a dentist and know a lot of dentists. They are very strange people.

While it is normal for a dentist to try to sell you other procedures (some needed, some not needed), you have a right to put up a red flag with a dentist trying to sell you jewelry (especially jewelry made with teeth??). I would find a different dentist, and notify the medical board of his practices. This is something they need to be aware of. Good luck.

I had a dentist try to do a hard sell scheduling me for an appt to come back and do more optional work while I was doped up on pain killers.

That's really weird! Someone in my family is a dentist and he never does anything like that. If I were you I would switch dentists.

you could call the dental association and report it.
I am not sure if this falls under ethics but that is not what he should be doing as a reputable dentist.
Not even mentioning the fact they are made out of teeth?
exactly who's teeth? ugh

switch dentists. a dentist is not authorized to sell anything else than stuff that goes in your mouth.
and thats nasty jewelry with teeth. i bet he wants you to get cavities from those teeth so he has more money

We must go to the same dentist, my dentist tried selling me a bracelet made from Camobidan babie's fingers. Very odd.

All dentists are salesmen.They try to see how much money you have, then try to push services based on how much they feel you are willing to pay. Be focused.If you are in for a cleaning, tell them that's all you are prepared to pay for at this time and that should shut them up.
