I have dentists bring up things that made me slightly self-conscious, but I never felt pressured by them. I think they’re really pushing night guards these days. My insurance covered it, so I just went with it, but I think there must be a dental convention where they learn what to pitch next.
Also, if the hilly billy smile is going to make you self-conscious and withdrawn, maybe consider it. They can’t make you get an implants. Seems like a simple “no thanks” interaction.
