I don’t understand how the religious inclinations of the dentist have anything to do with their trustworthiness in terms of their diagnoses and treatment recommendations.


Because many dentists are fraudulent. Morality is a big part of many religious doctrines. So they might be less likely to lie about unneeded procedures. But overall I agree that it's not in any way something you could rely on.


Note that I am not religious. The last religious thing I did was my bar mitzvah, which was like 35 years ago.

I felt like my dentist was morally upstanding.
