Dentists are always the scapegoat in the world of bicycling (and in general).
I only know a few other dentists besides myself that ride offroad. They have
nice, but not ridiculous rigs. The other dentists I know that ride are your
typical well-heeled roadies with extraordinarily pricey gear with not even
close to the skill set or usage to justify it. I began mountain biking long
before I ever became a dentist. I buy solid stuff that works with minimal
bling and maximum bang for my buck. I guess having starting working in 5th
grade and paying for all of my education on my own gave me a better
appreciation for a dollar. That said, I hope tons of professionals buy fancy
bikes, keeping the bike biz thriving as who cares what they do with them?
