That's one thing I noticed at my dentist years ago. It used to be a family practice but then they sold to a larger company. From then on every time I was there they tried to push another expensive treatment in addition to regular teeth cleaning. I am not an expert so how could I judge this recommendation? Maybe it's in my best interest or maybe they just want to make more money. Eventually I just stopped going there because I had a bad feeling. You should be able to trust your doctor but it's really hard to do so knowing that they are after profit mainly.

Yup same here, they had a rotating team of dentists who swapped seats every week and often times tried to upsell me on procedures and one had the audacity to joke I was costing them money cause I had no cavities or work needed "it's good for you, not good for me" said with a chuckle, while I rolled my eyes and got the hell out of there eventually finding a family practice I could trust.
Sounds like car dealers.
