Conspiracies to stifle competition never work very well or for long in the absence of government power. Besides, such conspiracies are illegal under the federal antitrust laws.
Therefore, special interest groups desiring to minimize or eliminate competition usually look for ways of using government regulation for their purposes. It is not only far more effective, but also largely immune for antitrust attack. A case the Supreme Court will hear in October, North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners v. FTC perfectly illustrates the way this nasty little game is played.
Among the many cosmetic services Americans enjoy is teeth whitening. Do-it-yourself kids can be purchased for home use, but some people prefer having the whitening done by beauticians. Who do you suppose finds that unacceptable?
Smile and say, “dentists.”

My dentist will not stop trying to push this stuff me
I find teeth whitening to be ugly. It makes teeth gray and transparent It is untested to any real degree. We may find out it destroys enamel. It has to be repeated which makes it a life long expensive commitment.
Like doctors, dentists thrive on our needing them/ bad teeth.
If this stuff is bad for us they have no incentive to inform us of that.
It’s money for them
Just like doctors claim territory in all kinds of care arenas, these guys are not going to cede territory here.
But the whole teeth whitening deal is a big rip off
Baking soda, then 5 drops of hydrogen peroxide for five min.
Almost FREE and it provides 80%.of the same effect.
Want to eliminate most of your dental expenses?
Go on eBay and for $10 you can buy a vetrinary prophylaxis dental scaler —one of those scary metal hook scraper things that you loathe for ANOTHER person to fiddle around in your teeth.
YouTube the basics and if you remove your *own* calculus every three weeks or so then it’s unlikely you’ll ever need any dentist except for really crazy emergencies.
Say:
If the ONLY time you combed your hair was when you paid a PRO to do it, HOW messy would your hair usually be...?
Yes that is how I now see it.
Can't put my finger on it but this strikes me as vaguely obscene.
Human trafficking at its finest.
Lol aye but today be talk like a pirate day what more do ye be expecting
