" . . . for the dentists . . . "
LOL!!! Not sure if the allusion is true outside of the U.S. but it
certainly applies here.
FWIW, a dentist I met years ago is a very fine photographer. Charles
("CJ") Elfont by name. He may even have retired so he could shoot
full time. Specialized in Hummingbirds and Pretty Girls. One of his
students, Vincent Versace is now better known than CJ.
