Theory - The Master Dentist

Dentistry is one of the few professions where the actual practicer must rely on peers from the same field to assist them. Mechanics can fix their own car, doctors can diagnose themselves, and carpenters can build their own shelving.
I would submit this stream of logic:

- Every dentist wants to go to someone equal or superior to them (because they know what good and bad dentistry looks like and what it can do)

- Unless they mutually support one another, that dentist that does work on one dentist, is in turn seen by a "better" dentist.

- Each dentist that works on a dentist, sees a "better" dentist.

- Inevitably, climbing the pyramid, you will get to the Master Dentist

Proposed Profile of the Master Dentist (MD):
- MD's tools taste like candy and are thrown away after one use
- MD's office has shag carpeting and a live band
- MD's dental chair is made by Lay-Z-Boy
- MD's gloves smell like fresh cinnamon roles
- MD can pull a tooth with his mind
