If anyone is following this, please refer back to the last thread.

At my Monday, May5,appointment, the pros intern spent much time putting in, reshaping, etc, my temporary denture for my lower teeth. I don't believe I've ever seen worse proportions. The curve from the front teeth to the back is almost out of sight on one side. Looks normal on the other. My original teeth were bad but didn't look as bad as these do. Okay, they're temporary, but I hate to see his work on the permanent ones.

Also, the tops of the front 6 teeth roll back toward my throat. The teeth are not straight teeth. There's a ledge I feel with my tongue. That's vague, but does anyone understand what I mean? Are temps supposed to look unbalanced like that and curve backwards instead of being straight?

When I looked at them and asked why, he said it was just temporary - not to worry about it - that I couldn't expect them to look any differently.

Pros intern doesn't want me to have my upper bridge on implants. Says there's just a cavity on one of the canine teeth that are the anchors. My feelings about not doing that much work on a decayed tooth are not valid according to him. Wants to use my teeth whether I want implants as insurance against future work or not.

He sent me down to surgery for an opinion. Another totally new intern who looks 16 said that in his opinion, I should use my canine teeth again as anchors for the front bridge. That they're strongest teeth in my head, and one little cavity isn't going to make any difference. I asked him when he'd spoken to pros intern. He eered and ahhed and said a little while ago, but that it didn't influence him.

Then he started saying that because I'd had this present bridge as my front teeth for so long (over 40 years ) that the gum had narrowed toomuch to put inplants in, so that was that. That if I got anyone to do it, they'd have to graft bone in front and wait for that to heal - like 6-9 months. My sentence has been decided by a new grad who is with the other class coming into all the departments this week.

The patient advocate said she was only supposed to work as advocate between students and patients - not interns and up. Therefore, there is no patient advocate in the dental clinic.

I went to the dean's office. She was too busy to see me for several weeks or months. Doesn't matter, she's been briefed and the word has been put out that I'm a trouble maker.

Bryanna, if you read this, I have acted the way you suggested from the beginning. I haven't threatened, been ugly, blamed anyone. I've just told them what had happened to me. No one has given me answers to anything.

They're playing dirty.
