My dental hygienist recommended a commercial product as equally effective and much less expensive than treatment at the dentist’s office.

Clean them yourself every month or so —only scary the first and second times, maybe. After five time’s you’re a pro. Now I can do it without even looking AS I DRIVE (pretty reckless, I conceed).

Scrape carefully at and a little under the gumline “sub-gingival”, if ya wanna sound all smart.

A little bleeding the first 10 or so times you do it, less and less, each time.

What is every time you had to BRUSH YOUR HAIR you had it done at a SALON? You’d spend a bundle and usually go around with messy hair.

That’s stupid.

The big-government/big-corporate crony-fascist complex doesn't like it when peasants get to earn a living without them getting their skim.

Given that this is a state issue, we need to look at the Georgia State Constitution to find out where the state's legislative powers are vested. From the Georgia Constitution (pdf).

ARTICLE III. LEGISLATIVE BRANCH SECTION I. LEGISLATIVE POWER

Paragraph I. Power vested in General Assembly. The legislative power of the state shall be vested in a General Assembly which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives.

Now lets examine the context of this Georgia issue.

"This spring, Eck received a cease and desist order from the Georgia Board of Dentistry, after one of its investigators determined her business was an unlicensed dental practice [emphasis added]."

Although this provision from Georgia's Constitution is not worded the same as the federal Constitution's Section 1-3 of Article I, given that the members of the Georgia board of Dentistry are probably not elected members of Georgia's Senate and HoR, Georgia's Board of Dentistry is seemingly making decisions for citizens for which it has no legislative / regulatory power to do under Georgia's constitution.

So while I agree in principle with the action of this dentristry board from the perspective of public health, unless I'm overlooking something else in the Georgia Constitution, this legal action by the dentristy board is arguably being implemented outside the framework of Georgia's Constitution.

Corrections, insights welcome.

And since Georgia parents probably aren't making sure that their children are being taught their state's constitution any more than the federal Constitution, it doesn't surprise me to see a state ignoring its constitution.

Same reason the AMA frowns on chiropractors - cash.
