Well in SoCal you can find dentists who operate out of someone’s barrio garage. Fully equipped with a Dremel tool and some street drug painkillers and antibiotics. It helps to speak Spanish. I can give you a referral right now if you’d like.
“Badges? We don’ need no stinking badges!”
I have a perfectly nice dentist. He’s from India. However, I don’t ask him to wash my hair.
