I mean, I'm not going to go into ethics or anything, but I'm going to assume that some dentists would say, "I'll chuck it in for free!" then bump something else up by the same amount and benefits rubber stamps the claim. They're not supposed to do things that way, but I know that there's plenty of dentists that push the envelope in terms of what they can charge to benefits for work done without getting the individual in trouble.

you're not going to go into ethics, but instead just do a quick smear of the profession. nice.
