Comments on: Dentist National Requirements: OSHA, HIPAA, etc. http://thewealthydentistuniversity.com/insights/275/dentist-national-requirements/ Mon, 13 Sep 2010 23:39:32 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Gerald Levin http://thewealthydentistuniversity.com/insights/275/dentist-national-requirements/comment-page-1/#comment-277 Gerald Levin Sun, 16 May 2010 23:36:11 +0000 http://thewealthydentistuniversity.com/insights/?p=275#comment-277 National Reciprocity. Here we go again. We' ve been talking about it since the days of Painless Parker and even when I graduated in 1978 it was a hot topic. Here we are a hundred years later (so it seems) and we are still talking about it. But I can understand why those dentists in FL don't want us under-qualified dentists entering their turf. They have the best training in the world and EVERY dentist in FL deserves to keep every non-Florida dentist out of their state. Why should they let us incompetent dentists into their state? We need to do one or the other. National reciprocity or lets do the complete opposite. Lets restrict the practice of dentistry not by state, but by city. Yeah, my city is better than your city and don't you dare enter with your incompetence. LOL. What a f'king joke. I quit the ADA years ago as my personal protest against their lack of interest in giving me the right to practice where I want. Yeah, they say its out of their hands and its in the hands of the politicians of each state. I say to the ADA, BS. Your inaction will let this problem continue ad nauseum. Yeah, I'm pretty nauseated with this whole reciprocity cr@p. Its all about a turf war and restriction of trade. Plain and simple. National Reciprocity. Here we go again.

Inner city, lower socioeconomic citizens with zero oral hygiene practices are still not getting cavities like we once did prior to the 1960s. Usually their first dental encounter is when their wisdom teeth start to hurt them!! Tooth decay has been decreased by over 50% due to fluoride.

If you put a frog in a pan of water and turn the heat up ever-so-slowly, he will not jump out and boil to death. This has been happening to us for the past 30 years. The ADA is interested in only it's own prosperity. IT IS TIME TO JUMP OUT OF THE POT! Don't pay your ADA dues and fight for the political candidates that want to strengthen state's rights. Build up a war chest in your state and local societies. I was on the board of dental examiners in Florida. Believe me, we need to keep the license out of the hands of educators and politicians. We are the dental authorities! Let,s start acting like it! Regards, Mel Livernois Dear Fred,
