Intelligent Dental Work?

In my life, I've had 7 teeth extracted. I have had orthodontic work done. I have probably had a dozen fillings. I fully believe that I am better off for having had this work done.

Therefore, I believe that every person should have 7 teeth extracted, orthodontic work, and a dozen or so fillings. Those failing to do so are morally inferior to me, should be marginalized, and my beliefs should be taught in public schools in lieu of other points of view.

Ridiculous, right? You bet it is. However, it's the same basic argument that certain zealots make - just replace dentistry with religion. Then mix in one neo-conservative political party...
