Yup. I cannot believe how much insurance providers bend over for actual fake bullshit like chiropractors, dentists or "naturopathic doctors" who use homeopathic remedies, and related quakery, but then try to screw people over on stuff that's actually scientifically more sound.
I mean dentists who peddle homeopathic remedies.
This literally happened to me where a dental surgeon had me purchase some homeopathic thing to use before a surgery and gave me scare tactics about how much I needed to use it. I ended up forgetting to use it, and was freaked out. When they told me not to worry, I had a hunch, and sure enough when I got home, I saw "homeopathic" on it.
I ceased all service with this dental surgeon and filed complaints with my states dental board. They told me to pound sand, as I have to show that this stuff would hurt people. You could hear my eyes roll as I listened to the states dental investigator explain this crap to me.

What total nonsense. What the dentist did is actually _worse_ than just stealing the same amount of money from your wallet. I guess the only reasonable approach is to try to ruin the dentist’s reputation publicly. Or I guess to just move on since that dentist is just one in a million professional charlatans in modern American society.
