 | Do dentists have the highest suicide rate?Dentists' odds of suicide "are 6.64 times greater than the rest of the working age population," writes researcher Steven Stack. "Dentists suffer from relatively low status within the medical profession and have strained relationships with their clients--few people enjoy going to the dentist." One study of Oregon dentists found that they had the highest suicide rate of any group investigated. A California study found that dentists were surpassed only by chemists and pharmacists. Of 22 occupations examined in Washington state, dentists had a suicide rate second only to that of sheepherders and wool workers. |

But that was wrong! we all need to visit the dentist twice a week to make sure that we are not having a teeth problems in the future!  And my best advice that we well visit the dentist twice a week! that is for your own good! Good luck!  |
