Dentists, Like Lawyers, all go to Hell

From the New York Times:

Dentists’ incomes have grown faster than that of the typical American and the incomes of medical doctors. Formerly poor relations to physicians, American dentists in general practice made an average salary of $185,000 in 2004, the most recent data available. That figure is similar to what non-specialist doctors make, but dentists work far fewer hours. Dental surgeons and orthodontists average more than $300,000 annually.

Ah, I knew there was a reason I didn't like dentists. Aside from all the drilling and ceaseless injunctions to floss more, I mean. On the other hand, I have been considering getting my teeth whitened.
