Quackery, fraud, and denturists
1Ohio State University School of Dentistry, USA. LesGoBucks@aol.com
Abstract:
Denturism is questionable dental practice, even in those few states where it is licensed. Incomplete or incompetent care is quackery. In the early 1980s a few states liberalized their laws to allow denturism to those who were educationally qualified. This experiment has generally failed because all accredited training programs have closed, because prices charged by denturists have about reached parity with dentists' fees, and because of limited demand for denturists' services. Because of the complexity of the message about scientifically-grounded oral health care and the populism of stories about the poor and underserved, dentists must be vigilant regarding their interactions with the media.
