Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / August 2008DENTISTS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF INSURANCE....
....by booking more cleaning appointments than necessary. Like a cleaning that used to take only one visit, they will purposefully break up into 2 or even more visits, just so that they can then charge the patient, instead of just the insurance company, which usually only covers 2 dental cleanings per year. They will bullshit that the reason they can only do 1/4 of the cleaning at a time, is because they are doing a "deep cleaning", and that they cannot do this in one visit. What a crock of sh.t. And besides the extra money they rip off from the customers, it's super inconvenient to leave work that often. And they know they can usually get away with it, because the insurance covers 2 of the visits, while the patient will pay out of pocket for the extra visits, just because most people will pay anything to keep their teeth. Too bad most dentists are super greedy. > Too bad most dentists are super greedy. Too bad most patients won't brush and floss twice daily.

So you agreed this is a problem? So many dentists string out the visit unecessarily, just to make more money.....shameful. >On Aug 16, 3:08?pm, New...@bix.nex wrote: >> >> > ? ? ?

Please proof read before posting. It is not very difficult to demonstrate foolishness with so much help from the target. I'm the one laughing, at *you* of course. HFS!

OK, Biatch. Come get some, if you think your big enough. It's not much of a challenge to enter a war of words with an unarmed opponent.

Appointments by email, 4 hours at a time in the chair, and everything gets done in a week. If I want the usual xray-cleaning-exam (which used to take an hour) I have to make an appointment 2 weeks in advance and then wait another 2 weeks for the cleaning. Screw it. Next time I'm going to the PCC hygienists' school for cleaning. If I need work I'll go back to Algodones. Drive 260 miles, get it done, drive 260 miles back home. My butt can take it!

One tried that on me. She gave several different reasons for the second visit, but the real reason was that she was slow and just didn't finish in the alotted time. When billed for the second visit I called half a dozen dentists' offices and determined that the cow was simply trying to rip me off. Accordingly, I wrote a letter to the dentist (since the bill came on his letterhead) explaining exactly why I didn't intend to pay unless he sued and won. (Always ask for a real judge, the "magistrates" are useless if there's any controversy.) That was the last I heard of it. It was a lousy cleaning, too. > What a crock of sh.t.

This was probably a greedy -- and stupid -- hygienist. Sometimes I don't mind getting people fired.
