On the Fact that in Arkansas, it Is Illegal for Orthodontists to Clean and Extract Teeth

I shit you not (courtesy of the Dental Board)....And wait till you get a load of the most recent application of this. It appears that a couple kind-hearted dentists (orthodontists by trade; Dr. Ben Burris and Dr. Liz Gohl) in Arkansas are providing inexpensive (and in some cases, free) dental care to poor people but because they are orthodontists the Dental Board has been threatening to take away their licenses - THIS, despite the fact that they are fully trained and capable of doing these procedures. Yes, perhaps we do need SOME licensing for SOME occupations but how anybody could possibly be in favor of this regulation (which is nothing but crony capitalism), A REGULATION THAT IS HARMING POOR PEOPLE, is way, WAY, beyond me - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1z3KplC IE..............................................................................................P.S. And, yes, the program has been suspended for now because the dentists (who currently employ over 100 people) are fearful of losing their practice. Just super, huh?
