Are Celebrity Dentists Good for the Dental Profession?

In our most recent survey, we asked dentists if they think celebrity cosmetic dentists are good for the profession.

Two out of three dentists say TV dentists are good for dentistry, and media exposure only makes the public more aware of what cosmetic dentistry can offer.

The remaining 38% feel that these docs are pushing appearance over health, and it's not making dentists look good.

Specialists were significantly more likely than general dentists to disapprove of celebrity cosmetic dentists.

Geographical location was not highly correlated with results.

However, rural dentists were less persuaded by celeb dentist gurus than their urban and suburban counterparts.
