I remember reading a survey, where they determined that dentists are the most highly-compensated medical providers.

Seems like the status quo is just fine for a whole bunch of folks that make enough to buy regulatory capture.

True but the profits and regulatory capture lie more with pharma companies than with dentists.

There's an incentive for pharma to want people not to take care of their teeth, I don't know if they ever act on this incentive but I wouldn't be surprised.
