| 837819 | 2009-12-10 22:21:00 | went regularly to the same dentist till her charges seemed to escalate every year finally after losing most of my teeth and was charged $90 just for a clean and told to come back for two fillings i revolted and have not been back to a dentist for the last 8 years. result no more a tooth ake and need for removal. i realized that in my situation every time i went to the dentist they would clean all the tartar from around the tooth and do the nescessary repairs but with in a month or so i would get severe tooth acke and have to get a tooth removed so now after not having my teeth 'cleaned' for years i find that i have not had a single tooth even sore for 8 years so now i wonder if the severe cleaning of the teeth were actually causing my teeth to be exposed to more bacteria than nature wanted and instead of expecting the rest of my teeth needing removal and then dentures i still have enough left to eat. i feel that dentists 'farm' their customers mouths for more work this ins only an opinion based on only my experience |

I've experienced quite similar situation as yours. Sometimes I wonder how those dentists were trained. They can't even do a simple 'cleaning' job! They do more harm than good - they actually damaged my teeth on several occassions. Dentists used to be quite professional during the olden days but they are now very greedy - they can only see and interested in $$$$$$$$ |

| 837825 | 2009-12-11 04:23:00 | Hate? Have you ever had ultrasound scan of the old ticker? It was an intimate experience, with a very nice operator giving me a fair old cuddle from behind whilst she manipulated the sounder thing over my chest. Phwoar... Hard to explain - I guess you had to be there. It would have been better if I hadn't been so scared about what she would find... |

| 837826 | 2009-12-11 04:25:00 | My kids have both had orthodontic treatment (a guy on the Shore) - a fixed price quoted at the start of treatment (irrespective of how long the treatment actually goes on for - no doubt he has a margin built in) and then just a monthly recurring charge to pay off the amount. A far easier way for parents to fund the treatment than trying to find big lumps of cash every now and then. Probably helps his cashflow too.... We had that experience on the Shore about 20 years ago. It was a good system. I think that all up the cost was about $3000 then for an extraction, braces, follow up. The day the final payment was made, young madam came home to say she had been appointed goalkeeper for her high school hockey team. Grrrrr....:mad: |

| 837827 | 2009-12-11 04:28:00 | (snip) Went to see him the next day and the bastard told me that it has recurred! Somehting that he hasn't experienced before (he's quite an old bastard) and he has to re-do the operation at my expense! (snip) My son's vasectomy recurred as well... He just wouldn't stop firing live bullets, so the surgeon (who also said that he had not experienced this before) had to do it all over again. However, unlike your experience, the surgeon took responsibility for his failure to turn off the tap, and did the second snip for free. As yours should have done right from the get-go. |

At least he was ethical & 'brave' enough to accept his mistakes and responsibilities as a 'trained' professional. Sadly, not many medical professionals deserve my respects nowadays. They're just 'trained' to see and make $$$$$ by all means and ways. Their goal is to make as much money as they can. Obviously, they don't know what 'Professional Ethic' is all about! |
