I don't believe many are malicious (and I could never prove it even if I did) but many dentists' practice involve things such as over treatment and over assessment (ie xrays) that go directly against scientific evidence.
This is all off topic, however, because I feel like a dentist helping me get something covered is being a patient advocate.

I moved and switched dentists and was very suspicious of what he recommended so I switched again. CBC marketplace did a story maybe 5 years ago and I think it was close to 50% of the places they went were either over charging or suggesting unnecessary procedures.
