Show Notes
On today’s episode, we tackle a question we’ve all wondered: Are dentists scamming us? We dive into the dark history of dentistry, find out why dental insurance sucks, hear from someone who uncovered a dentist drilling teeth for profit, and talk to a startup founder who’s looking to upend the whole industry.
Lilly Kaplan — licensed therapist and Reality Test newsletter author — sits in for Manny this week.
