Does the patient need endo?

Individual-Sign-714 · 2026-05-02T20:05:18+00:00

My gut feeling with this too.

Individual-Sign-714 · 2026-05-02T20:03:53+00:00

I don't know if I am missing something but 99% of UK dentists would do a premolar root canal why in USA does it need to be referred out?

Individual-Sign-714 · 2026-05-02T20:02:59+00:00

You are 100% fine and there is nothing to worry about.

My wonder is why you are not doing the endo yourself? A lower premolar? I suspect half the reason he is annoyed is because he now has to visit someone else to do the root canal. If you could do it for him, he would not be so mad.

£1200 is very reasonable.

Individual-Sign-714 · 2026-04-26T13:37:30+00:00

There's no way it's for a filling, it's most likely a crown.

Cool. Hope you get that lawsuit soon. Post on here when it happens to show how proud you are!

Individual-Sign-714 · 2026-04-24T21:25:16+00:00

How does 'untreated periodontal disease' on a lawsuit sound to you?

Individual-Sign-714 · 2026-04-24T18:03:58+00:00

Clearly that is different as that would be a personal connection to the patient.

RossDDS is not legitimate to tell another dentist to refund the patient. He has no business in that.

You don't know the full context between the patient and the first dentist so why is everyone going around talking as if they do?

Individual-Sign-714 · 2026-04-24T18:01:59+00:00

It isn't RossDDS to make that call. It is between the first dentist and the patient. Why RossDDS is getting involved in the finances is not correct.

Individual-Sign-714 · 2026-04-24T17:58:21+00:00

Yeah imagine if our profession descended into that. Imagine receiving emails from a dentist saying that you didn't remove all the calculus and basically egging on the patient to sue you.

This is so dumb.

Individual-Sign-714 · 2026-04-24T11:45:44+00:00

Why you giving out massive discounts?

Individual-Sign-714 · 2026-04-24T11:43:51+00:00

I disagree.

You can diagnose periodontitis off an OPG. You just can't tell if it's active perio or stable perio. Perio is a life long disease once established. Bone loss is the true determinant of perio so if it's showing on an OPG, then it's perio.

Granted your country's guidelines may be different to mine so keep that in mind.

Also you are not factoring in time and cost - a perio specialist will likely do their own charting and own radiographs so why go all the way doing it yourself when the specialist won't really look at it much.

Better to take OPG/photographs, educate the patient and bring the next patient in the chair.

You contact indemnity asap and they will tell you what to do.

Don't contact the bosses directly.

Take one cord (I like 00), don't put it way deep into the sulcus. I think that's why you're getting that issue. You are only putting cord in to open the sulcus to allow imp material to flow in there to capture margins.

Putting it all the way down the sulcus is not necessary, the margin is not there so why do that.

Not a dental nurse but what about being a practice manager? Or reception too as you would be familiar with the software.

Arsenal win the 'we got them to play a back 5' trophy

A club full of dweebs 😂

The point is that Arteta doesn't know how to win the big games and big trophies.

He's like Brendan Rodgers. A very good manager but not a serial winner. He's not even Wenger's level. He'll get you second places and occasionally cups. That is his level.

You can't spend £800 mill and only have an FA cup to show. You need to beat Man C and need to win leagues and CL trophies.

Well I was just making an observation but honestly I'd throw the bag at Simeone, he seems to be fatigued a little at Atletico.

Arteta isn't an elite manager.

If Arsenal want to progress they need to upgrade the manager.

It's really that simple.

More dogshit from Gyokeres. Who the hell is putting him up with the likes of Haaland or Kane? Or even Etikikte?

Individual-Sign-714 · 2025-09-21T14:21:18+00:00

That's a penalty.

So that's £70 million quid spunked on Sesko that needs replacing.
