“Starter holes,” really? Think for five minutes. Dental health is invisibly reinforced or ruined by saliva chemistry, which a competent-yet-malicious professional could sabotage in ways most laymen—even a professional investigator such as a police office—would be oblivious to. http://ua.johntynes.com/content_comments.php?id=P3105_0_3_0
I’m not worried about laymen catching it—I’m worried about other dentists noticing. “Second opinion” and all that.
Mostly, I’d assume (but could well be wrong) that the consequences are worse for a dentist than for, say, an auto-mechanic, so there’s more incentive for a dentist to be honest.
