One of the dentists in the town I grew up in had a reputation for always telling parents their kids needed braces even if they didn't. I'm sure he made a tonne of money preying off them. I've always had trouble trusting them because of that.
The dentist I have right now is good. I had a problem with one of my wisdom teeth a couple of months ago. He said that I could get root canal but that it would be cheaper, quicker and less painful to just get it pulled - which I ended up doing.
