   More dentists are pulling healthy teeth to sell pricy implants, experts warn
   It turns out you may not have needed those implants after all.

     @arstechnica Yeah surprise, the guy who has implants on his store sign, implants on his notepads, probably is on the implants lecture circuit, and probably enjoys weekends with escorts provided by the implant manufacturers wants to give you implants. Get a second opinion!

     @arstechnica After the radiation ruined her teeth, my mom got told by the insurance that she needed to have them pulled and then come back for implants.

     Then after she had them pulled, they said the implant had to be done in the same visit and sold her dentures.
