5.0 out of 5 stars.  Making the American Mouth, November 16, 2012
By Phil Trupp
Alyssa Picard gives the reader a jaw-dropping look at the history of American dentistry. The details are impressive--and discouraging--as we discover a greedy, self-serving branch of the health industry. If we have a case against Wall Street, we should also see parallels in the dental office. Ms. Picard has given us an in- depth insight into a strange, quasi-industrial segment of the health machine that long ago fell from grace and honor. It's all about the buck. American dentists are driving tens of thousands of patients to foreign lands seeking decent treatment without the overt fleecing. Five glowing stars to the author.
