Just stumbled on a new article. I guess the dentist is suing the forensic expert

SuperTank

1/23/17 11:39am

So did the dentist have a massive lapse in judgement or was he scamming?

Dude was scamming, that's why he is going to jail

Did you read somewhere that he's going to jail? I haven't found that info yetZ

SuperTank

Actually I'm just being judgmental bcs I don't trust dentists

Yes, I hate the bogus upselling some do... greedy, greedy, greedy

PortlandCoug

He's not going to jail. Don't make up lies about people

GeauxCougs

It wasn't a lie, it was an alternate fact.

El Fuego

funny, but it's actually is a person he is talking about

GeauxCougs

1/23/17 11:54am

I guess we'll find out if it was really necessary, seems extreme

PortlandCoug

it is apples to oranges

GeauxCougs

1/23/17 12:00pm

Not sure. He did have an anesthesiologist there, so I'd assume the only blame he'd shoulder would be if the

I know alot about this case. It will come out soon enough

GeauxCougs

It is a quack field, man. They have to make things up to make a living.

Blue Ghost

He didn't make up the reason. It will come out with him being cleared.

GeauxCougs

Thank you for sharing the other side of this story. Usually it's the innocent

yes sometimes GA is necessary especially for a lot of children with special

Yup. Active mind. Strong opinions. Just can't communicate with words yet.

BYU grad, ugh

You should have decked him in front of his wife and kids

NottherealJWill

1/23/17 12:00pm

I wouldn't use a dentist that made me wait upfront while he worked on my child

Remigius

1/23/17 12:04pm

If they are being seen under GA it's mandatory. The anesthesiologist won't let

GeauxCougs

1/23/17 12:09pm

They upsold us on our daughter too. They come out when she's under and claim

Blue Ghost

1/23/17 12:06pm

This is actually really bad advice. The teeth will fall out, yes, but that doesn't mean they aren't enormously important

SuperTank

1/23/17 12:11pm

Bull. Based on my experience, they make stuff up to get your money.

Blue Ghost

1/23/17 12:16pm

listen just stop. you don't know what you are talking about

GeauxCougs

Pediatric Dentist?

Blue Ghost

1/23/17 12:22pm

yes, I'm sorry you had a bad experience with pediatric dentistry.

GeauxCougs

Yeah don't mind me, I'm just in a bad mood this morning.

Blue Ghost

Explain? I have 4 children who all lost teeth at varying rates

CarolinaCoug

Same here. I've had kids whose teeth were pulled early...

Everyone is different. There are multiple philosophies to treating a single

Maybe you're right, but my ancedotal experience is overwhelming for me.

Of course every case is different and asking a dentist to explain

Space loss in the molar area is hard to regain via orthodontics.

GeauxCougs

I think you've read too much into what I was saying. Or I was a little too

Without seeing your child or what your dentist saw, here are my thoughts:

Sorry to paint you all with the same brush.

Blue Ghost

No my philosophy was to fill the cavity and hold off on root canal

Blue Ghost

1/23/17 1:30pm

you don't do root canals on primary teeth due to pain. Actually, generally you don't do root canals on primary teeth at

SuperTank

Is that because the root needs to erode to lose the tooth?

Blue Ghost

1/23/17 1:45pm

Honestly, it's nice to hear you say that you're ignorant about this. I wish more
