Hopefully not. Not enough scinence to back it up. Not yet, anyway.

Hopefully you are not since you, as a dentist, do it on a daily routin basis.
Or at least should, if you are a good one. Haven't you never dignosed a TMJ-
headache from a migrane, differentiated a sinusitis from tooth infection.
What if you get a medical emergency right there in your chair? Will you tell
the widow/widower; "Sorry, I am Joel and I only practice dentistry" even
though you could had done some med.stuff to avoid that?
