Dentists do get given a hard time, don't they, Raymond? As a non-dentist to a
dentist, let me say that (at least to me) the portrayal of dentists as people
who buy expensive gear irrespective of skill is more of an abstract construct
than it is a literal characterization. I always wondered why dentists get the
bad rap, not docs or lawyers. Duck and cover if you're a dentist triathlete.
But as you point out, you guys are great for the industry, and everyone should
be appreciative. And true enough: if you can afford it, who are we or anyone
else to point fingers?
That said, the 'priced for dentists' tagline isn't going away. I'm glad you
can see it from an elevated perspective.
