My wife had a tooth that needed pulling years ago. We were young and broke and had no insurance. We went to a dentist, explained that, and he charged us $30 for pulling the tooth. If we had insurance, the amount would have been over $400. This was in Canada around 1990. Also, "referrals" are a big money maker for the medical and dental industry.

might just have been that the dentist did you a solid. even in 1990 dollars, $30 isn't profitable.
