I don't get why people hate on chiropractor or acupunctures while dentists get a free pass.

Is it because they make bank?

No. The science of tooth erosion, cavities and infections of the mouth is as sound as sound can be, and the procedures we have to treat these conditions and prevent them from ever happening are well-established. You can die of an infected cavity if it gets bad enough - it nearly killed Sean Connery in the early 2010's because he had an infection festering under a crown he had put in.

Dentistry is a specialised medical science. This idea that it's pseudoscience is a bizarre take.

Teeth are just bones. I'm sure a chiropractor could adjust my teeth if they wanted to.

Stupid troll topic, but there is something to be said about chain dentists pushing unnecessary procedures on their clients to maximize profit.

a dentist wouldn't 'adjust' your teeth, they'd send you to an orthodontist. try again.

Nah, man. You got to yank them, just a little, to relieve the pressure. Twice a week for the next 6 months should fix you right up.

If you follow the science, chiropractic is pants on head stupid bullshit.

Dentistry is a real thing that really treats your dental health.

I know this is just a troll topic, but as someone with lifelong dental problems, I've seen enough of dentistry to know that they're a necessary profession. Just you wait until you get teeth that hurt and won't stop, you'll learn to fucking love your dentist then. At least, you will if you have dental coverage, otherwise you'll hate your dentist when you get the bill.

My wisdom tooth came in at a position where I couldn't brush it and during the pandemic the cavity in it got so big and disgusting. I was in pain daily. Only getting 3 hours of sleep running through bottles of ibuprofen and orajel. I called my dentist every day for an appointment. It took so long for my appointment to come but I was so relieved when they yanked it out

I certainly dont, Ive been seeing a chiropractor regularly since I was a teenager and I swear by it

The problem is chiropractors can be faked more easily then a quack dentist. The fake as ones give the legit ones a bad reputation.

It is more like 10/10 dentists agree and 1/10 dentists refuse to endorse a specific brand.

I feel you on that, I had something very similar with a wisdom tooth that was just pulled a week ago. Advil, ice packs, and antibacterial mouthwash.
