Tooth decay was a perennial national problem that meant a mouthful of silver for patients, and for dentists a pocketful of gold.

Dentists are incapable of asking questions that require a simple yes or no answer

They are babies in waiting, life on ice.

I'm English. Our dentistry is not world famous. But I made sure I got moldings of my old teeth beforehand because I miss them.

I am not interested in the ephemeral-such subjects as the adulteries of dentists. I am interested in those things that repeat and repeat and repeat in the lives of the millions.

We took a look at dentists' offices and industrial customers and sampled at strategic locations. It's hard to know exactly where it comes from. We went business to business in certain areas, asked them if they use mercury compounds and told them they can't dispose of it down the sewer.
