I went to the new dentist. I had home there last Aug for a second opinion
And liked it very much there. Good thing I hadn't told my old dentist that I was leaving - I just picked up a copy of my X-rays, telling them I was going for another estimate on the dentures. The new dentist, after looking things over, went to talk with the other dentist in the practice, came back and said they wouldn't be able to help me - they were referring me to a specialist. Guess where: the University of Maryland Dental School. A Dental School! I have a friend that goes there ALL the time, as it is cheap to go there. I asked why I would let a student work on me if I was such a complicated case - she said they are trained by several professionals. So?


I knew I was in trouble when I saw the dentist's eyebrows raise when she asked about the glycol allergy and I said I do all my own research. That way I am sure of what I'm being exposed to. I don't know why anyone would object to that? I'm not costing them, or their practice, any time or money to check things out. But I saw her reaction. Oh well - at least I sti have the practice where the turnover is so high they've had 4 dentists there in less than 1 year.
