My husband had a few cavities as a teen and now he's in his 20's and feels like he's getting another. I just called the dentist's office to set up an appointment and she told me they would do an x-ray, the dentist would visit with him, and then they would schedule him for a SECOND appointment where the dentist would discuss x-ray results and the hygenist would do a cleaning.
What kind of a racket is this? Can't dentists find cavities without x-ray equipment? And why would my husband have to make a 2nd appointment just to get his results?
And then to just arbitrarily assume he will get his teeth cleaned. The nerve!
Can you go to a dentist and refuse the x-rays and just have him examine you and give you his observations?
It's not just the extra money and radiation exposure we have a problem with, it's feeling pressured to do certain procedures. Has anyone else experienced this? I had a similar encounter with my dentist which is why I tried this new one today for my husband
