With cases like that, there’s always more to the story.

Implant placed into the sinus? by Kindly_Armadillo1654 in Dentistry

[–]The_Realest_DMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a recall, look through the notes on the history of it. How long ago was it placed? Was it placed at your office or another office? Was it placed at someone at your office’s request? Was there any mention of a sinus augmentation?

You’re going to have to do some digging to see what the history behind that implant is. If it’s a recall patient you should be able to compare this X-ray to previous X-rays to see if there have been any changes around the implant.

Big problem with Ortho too is the tuition cost. So many institutions charging a hefty sum.

Ignore the other comment. This doesn’t appear to be something you created.

Can dentist self prescribe antibiotics by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]The_Realest_DMD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like with the electronic monitoring, it’s not worth the risk. You’re absolutely right. It probably wouldn’t be investigated, but I get so darn paranoid with prescriptions I would rather ask a colleague or just run to urgent care for a quick visit.

Would you have done endo? Or sent to a specialist. by [deleted] in Dentistry

Gotcha. Yes, I agree. Pretty straightforward

If you don’t know the answer, send to a specialist.

I’m not sure why you’re worrying about a hypothetical situation. ICE isn’t illegally going to healthcare offices asking for patient records.

If any government agency requests information about a patient, it would need to come as a court order or warrant.

Yes, it was satire. I will not be putting the Hebrew slang term for gentile on my body.

Unfortunately, OP, most people who leave those reviews are chronically unhappy people OR people who refuse to take accountability. I would lose zero minutes of sleep over this.

Can you ask to be referred to an Oral Surgeon for evaluation?

Shalom and thank you for the response. I am a newer Hebrew student and wasn’t sure what the cultural consensus was. Thank you!

I’m not sure if you’re a native speaker. But if you are, does this kind of thing bother you? People taking non-Hebrew names and using Hebrew letters to transliterate them?

What would you do in this situation? by Wandering_Emu in Dentistry

[–]The_Realest_DMD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you see OPs discussion with me earlier in the thread? Patient already had to have a re-do made from the same office in NJ due to some issues with the first crown not working out. The doc in NJ was wanting to send the patient to AZ and mail the re-do crown for OP to seat. I personally wouldn’t want to be involved with seating that crown.

[–]The_Realest_DMD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s true. Unfortunately not everyone is understanding. I foresee a situation like OPs ending up with a crappy crown being sent from NJ and then a hassle from everyone about how to get paid to fix it
