Snoop Dog Goes We All Must Go To Get Checked But What If Your Office is Like These........ Dental Patient's Should Be Aware of The News In The Dental World.If your someone who goes to the Dentist 2 x a year or bounce from one Dentist to the next because the fee is to high, Well there might be a good reason behind the scenes that you may not be aware of so think twice before getting upset on the high cost of Dentistry, because with everything in the world prices are going up on everything including Dentist tools and more and for this reason I am sharing why some Dentist are feeling the stress of the bills and have to charge you this and some are taking the wrong actions to get funding for their practice by stealing or by not using proper equipment or updated equipment. When an office cuts corners it can affect a whole town. Lets take a look at what has happen in a few Dental Offices due to stress or lack of money, One Dentist used old rusty tools that patient's did not know he was using and they contracted HIV yes HIV from trying to do the right thing and come in 2x a year maybe even a few extra times like if a tooth breaks like mine did just last night. Well now it is time to seek treatment but who can truly offered out of pocket crowns? As a former Dental Assistant who presently Teaches Dental Assisting can't and I spent 30 years helping Dentist do better for their practice. I mention this because I made this site up because I do get it! I do understand the pain the true pain of not being able to seek a Dental professional help unless I was working for one. Another headline story is a Dentist riding a Hoverboard while working, Well at first as a fellow Dental professional I saw the fun in it and yet I being a former OSHA Assistant having to tell my co-workers to trim nails or put hair up I get it, He could had fell forward or back, Maybe keep it in the hallway and move that way but not while working, Oh though this is not a big deal because it is a Dentist trying to lighten up the day which is a positive thing , You should be aware of your surroundings while under the N20! Now where is the Payment you paid that your being sent to collections over it or the insurance overpaid and they are asking where is the money or refund, Well unfortunately some Dental Staff are not paid well believe it or not but they must go in there and work hard and look the part but truth be told some go home and don't have enough to eat. Their shoes are old and worn but they can not afford to get a pair, I understand like I said earlier 30 years in the field, I have gone without for the love of my career helping others. Regardless it gives no right to steal from the Dentist or your fellow staff members, especially the patient's who trusted you with their payments. The story is below of a young lady who stole from the practice. Now we shouldn't treat the staff rudely which has happen time and time again when it isn't there doing or is it? I have worked for a really good Dentist and not so good, I would still be at one office if the fellow Co-Workers weren't being shady like slim shady by not doing their job or not caring and I had to step away and since then I have dedicated my time to help others know what is going on so it doesn't happen to them on both sides of the team the Dental professionals and Patient's out there. Just as I am sharing with you what has happen in 2019 so I will share to my fellow Dental professionals to get the word out to fix these issues we have in Dentistry. I always loved my patients and understand their concerns and if happen to come across this website then it is a good thing to be aware it isn't all what it is crack up to be sadly to say and I hope in a polite way you express your concerns that you want to know all payment options not just the most expensive way so you can save your teeth each one is so important. To help you save in your pocket as well by asking if their is discounts in paying in full don't be scared to ask some do give discounts and they can. All Dental professionals are different some will do sweet things for families in need like Remote Areal Medical that does free service for many all around the world. Just be alert so more stories don't show up on the news of patient getting diseases that could have been avoided. Your teeth are so important to your body and nutrients it needs. If your unable to get them clean by all means check out the website it will help maintain oral health until you find that trusted Dentist as well as check out my referral page of trusted dentist I have check on that will give you good care. I also have a link below for Dental claims if you happen to be one of the patient's who need to file a claim for mistreatment. Together we can make a change. Categories All Archives January 2023

In 33 years, I have questioned a few Dentists and even spoke up for patients behind the scenes because I took an Oath a Hippocratic oath that means" To do no harm" and that includes things I have been a witness to. I am dedicating to helping the Dentistry Industry by bringing issues to light and not just for the General public but for my fellow assistants that are overlooked and overworked and some of the other staff members within Dentistry because there are good and bad apples in every town, and we have resources at our fingertips to check out someone before we go seek their professional advice.
We use to be more unaware of things going on in other towns or even our own but with so much social media it gets out there and it should anything left in the dark will manifest. This not to be abused on either end but the General Public and Staff Members need to be aware they can voice their complaints. Their are so many great Dentist that struggle while others are booming that are cutting corners. I have been verbally attack for bringing such issues up and that is ok because I do what I am called to do by Jesus. if others get upset it is because they are guilty or scared of something and instead of getting upset ask what do I need to improve in my career. Sometimes we need to have that fire put under us to keep on doing a great job. I will have another post soon about a company that has many complaints about it but the problem with big companies is some places run great while others don't and then the whole company gets a bad name. No worries I come with solutions with a referral page to the right of this page as well as a page you can verify your dentist is listed at the bottom.
Most Dental Professionals expect these questions to be asked but there is so much time to get your work done so I strongly recommend you ask for a short consultation about their office prior to appointment or let the front know so they can set time aside to speak about such matters. Everyone time is important especially if they are doing things right they need all the time they have. The ones who are not will get caught they always do in my professional that is what I have seen.
Never let a Health Care Professional NOT use gloves when doing an Oral Exam!
check your state
There are links to check licenses and/or file complaint
book in videoArchivesJanuary 2023 CategoriesAll What for patients to do during this time their dentist is closedWe all know most are at a Stay at home order from the Rich and Famous to even The Dentist and they had to in efforts to stop the spread of this Virus Convid-19 . I can tell you first hand your Dentist and Especially your Dental Hygienist that they would want you to maintain your oral health until you can come back in and visit with your Dentist and get the routine work done. So what should you do if your Dentist is not open first call the Emergency number and check to see if your Oral health issue is consider an Emergency for most states are allowing Emergency procedures only. Now if it is something that is bothering you like a toothache and they don't respond to you. On this website is information on how to help relieve the pain until you can get in. Same goes with Oral Health care which is extremely important during time. Learn how to maintain at home and your Dentist will be busy once the doors are back open so if you by chance call and can make an appointment go ahead and make 2 so your in the books one for when you think this will be over and one a few more weeks out and let them know your trying to reserve a spot. If anything changes always call and cancel it. Check under the Menu for the subject you need in taking care of your Oral health which is important especially since it is a portal entry for the virus. Stay safe and God Bless any Reader who comes upon this and feel free to share this information. Your dental office will be happy to get back to helping others but for their basic setup is set a side for EMERGENCIES only, if your office decides or can't reopen check the referral page of this site to help guide you to a dentist near you. hopefully not we all love the same doctors or hairdressers but just incase.
