"Specializing in one part of the body isn’t what’s weird—it would be one
thing if dentists were like dermatologists or cardiologists. The weird
thing is that oral care is divorced from medicine’s education system,
physician networks, medical records, and payment systems, so that a
dentist is not just a special kind of doctor, but another profession
entirely."
