One of the reasons it costs a bit more to be treated by a proper Dentist, is safety and actually getting the best results for you as everyone is different!
See here for a more extreme example of the dangers of 'going cheap' for healthcare, never mind dentistry:

Quoting from the first page of our website:

“It is very important to go to a properly qualified Dental Professionals for Teeth Whitening who can examine your mouth before and after Teeth Whitening treatments after taking a full Medical History...”

We also said how cowboy practices could endanger your health by spreading disease (i.e.: Hepatitis B, Herpes, TB) from unsterilised equipment. This week, we have learned about the case of Maddison Crabb.
