Practice Confessions

I am a dentist and I need to confess my frustration with my patients. When I opened my practice I was full of hope and tought I could help all my patients in keeping their teeth healthy.Oh boy, was I wrong. I can talk till I am blue in the face. There are many idiots who do not brush their teeths for months on end, who do not show up to their appointments and who complain about their teeth rotting or falling out. They expect me to do miracles when they show up 4 years later, they teeth full of cavities. But the worst of all are the parents who do not show their children how to brush their teeth. I had children in my practice, around 12 years old, mouth full with dental fillings. How can parents be so irresponsible? Those kids probably will have to start liking soup and smoothies, because they won't be able to eat solid food for much longer. I am disappointed in today's society......
