[RBS] [BS/RBS list] [RBS2] Look at this! Dental Scandal!!!

[engelberg@ieee.org]

I had a similar experience with a KH pediatric dentist and switched my
kids to a private dentist. Maybe we were all using the same lousy
dentist. I don't think all the KH dentists should be tarred with the
same brush. I still use Dr Shafir for myself and used Dr Rubenstein
before he left BS and have/had no complaints.
