If you need to write a complaint to the dental board, then do that. She is being neglectful.

Regarding your husband. I am glad to hear that his new dentist is being pro active with him. Hopeless teeth should not be retained... especially when there is periodontal disease as this infection is a systemic condition and not just limited to his mouth. I urge you to think twice about "saving" any of his lower teeth with root canals. That would only exacerbate his problem with more infection.

Please keep us posted okay. Your dentist will give you a refund if you tell her you are going to the dental board.... is she doesn't... then she will once she hears from the board upon your complaint. There is no reason why you should lose out on that money.... she did not do right by you. Also, talk with the oral surgeon about seeing a Prosthodontist.... they usually are pretty particular with making dentures.

Thank you again. I have learned enough about root canals, I won't let that happen with my husband -- thanks to you! I think the OS wants to see if there is the possibility of saving more teeth on the bottom to make him more comfortable with the partial denture. He wanted to see my husbands x-rays and arrange for the extractions.

One quick note. I counted the teeth in my denture and I have 24 - 12 top and 12 bottom. Of course the bottom one was cut short by the dentist. But the new upper was made that way with flat pieces of plastic covering where the molars should be. She had the upper made to meet the shortened bottom. Very weird and difficult to eat. I think 24 teeth is 4 teeth less than I should have.

Thanks again,
Jane
