Dentists are like used car salesmen. I don't think it's medicine so much as its an industry. I use my Delta dental coverage because it's better, and cheaper, then what I can get through my military retirement. I lucked out and got a great guy in SoCal that now takes care of my family as well. Apparently, he does a lot of the Hollywood crowd and doesn't need to fleece the rest of us. He's always looking for ways to cover us and not incur the additional charges. First time in my Delta years that I haven't been totally dissatisfied with the dentists I've had.

If its any consolation, military coverage is worse.
