Besides Larry and me, I don't know of any other dentists that had OC. When I contacted the ADA almost 3 years ago, I was told by their PR person that I was the only OC survivior dentist that ever contacted him in his 15 years of working there.
Your logic is correct and I can say in all honesty, that I had never heard of the OCF before my treatment started. You can be sure that I have already told 100's of dentists already and will continue to do so for many years to come. Getting them here, is like pulling teeth.
