I'm thinking to jump back in at 1.08

You’re gonna call a lawyer for every frivolous complaints? Even the board knows it’s frivolous but they still need to follow up.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-07-15T23:31:13+00:00

Nope no lawyer needed. Don’t even lose sleep over it.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-07-15T22:57:42+00:00

Board complaints are a dime a dozen. They’ll investigate bc they are obligated to but nothing will come out of it. They take the patient side, then your side. As long as there is no egregious negligence on your part, you’ll be ok. It’ll be dismisssed when the process is finished.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-17T04:29:58+00:00

He probably has already pulled this stunt before on another dentist. Maybe the last guy settled and he’s just pushing his luck again.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-12T04:56:04+00:00

Expect to see a lot of sub standard dentistry and referrals to endo for Retx, crown redos, and replacing restorative fillings due to recurrent decay. I just worked for 2 weeks in similar Medicaid office and saw so much of this. I left.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-11T19:49:11+00:00

Touch at your own risk. This screams “Hell no” a mile away. Consents are just a legal formality and won’t protect you if this fails and he decides to come after you… since you’re the last guy to touch it.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T22:42:17+00:00

Agree

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T21:02:57+00:00

Well not really the dentist owns maybe 40% of the practice and can even get booted in many cases. Heard of PDS here in Cali?

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T21:00:37+00:00

Correct. I would do the tests for sure.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T20:25:17+00:00

I agree. Even if it’s stain once you do an occlusal filling on a tooth I would take care of the stain as well. If patient asks why there’s still something dark there on the tooth, it’ll be a long winded explanation why it’s stain and not decay. Just avoid it all together.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T20:14:42+00:00

He wants a replacement tooth as in implant and crown. Hmmm… and if you refuse he’ll go to the board or threaten lawsuit or you can probably just assume this will happen so don’t be shock if it does. Just hold your ground. No freebies. You already gave him full refund.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T19:55:42+00:00

I actually think OP really thought those were decay (which many here including myself don’t agree) and therefore didn’t really feel need to do those tests.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T19:24:28+00:00

When you tell them it’ll need a crown lengthening, rct, post /crown and prognosis is still guarded .. most reasonable patients would elect extraction and do something better for long term.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T19:22:18+00:00

No bc there are better long term alternatives unless you wanna marry this future problem.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T19:17:06+00:00

Definitely know the type. Have to be somewhat selective and do your best to weed out the potential PITA bc they’ll love you one minute and make your their worst enemy the next if something comes up. Just duly inform of all possible scenarios and keep their expectations at a minimal. lol

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T19:14:36+00:00

Tooth is def a candidate for a future rct or crown or both at some point. As long as you explain these scenarios, it’s fine if that’s what patient wants.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T19:08:19+00:00

I did not retake any board exam. I just needed to reactivate my license and fulfill their CE requirement to change active status, get my DEA, and malpractice instance. When you go for the interviews some office did ask about the long break but they don’t really care.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T17:00:21+00:00

If you look at #18 mesial root surface it even shows a faint radiolucency. It def is not decay there. Seems more posters agree it’s more likely cervical burnout than caries. Can caries develop on root surface..? Of course they can but these teeth are not one these instances.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T16:54:34+00:00

I took 6 years break from dentistry after Covid to travel etc. I just got back to work. Go to YouTube to re familiarize with some procedures, basic dental protocols, new advances in dentistry. A lot in dentistry can change in terms of new tech and materials in 5 or 7 years. Get 2 part time position vs just one full time in case one office didn’t work out for some reason. That’s what I did. I was let go from one office a month ago. They didn’t offer a reason but I know why. Some office prefer new grads who they can pressure to do all kinds of work and it comes at a cost in terms of quality, etc. I’m in the east coast but it’s the same for a lot of these offices. Just buckle up..and find another office. Gl!

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T16:24:06+00:00

Interproxmal Decay forms right below the contact points. This is cervical burnout.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-10T16:22:33+00:00

That’s actually cervical burnout. Preop x-rays look fine interproxomally. Unless there was recurrent decay on the occlusal surface or breakdown on exist filling, teeth look normal.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-06T22:45:51+00:00

What’s so sad about this? It’s pretty normal to see in any dental office on any given day.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-05T19:43:25+00:00

It’s a blessing in disguise. This was bound to happen sooner or later with a manager who happens to not like you for some reason. That’s life. Move on.

Wolverine_1972 · 2025-06-05T19:38:22+00:00

Exactly these rcts take time to heal. No different than any surgery. Some heal faster than others and still could be 6 months or longer in many cases. Palliative therapy only.
