The dental clinic is booked out for 5 months if you are myself, while quizzing others revealed that 3 months seems to be the norm wait time.
I waited 5 months for today, to finally have my cavities filled that have been hurting, only to be sabotaged by both secretaries, one who scheduled me for a service I already did.
Re-scheduling reveals that the next available exam is another 5 months in May. I was in shock thinking I will have to deal with 5 months of pain because they will only do a certain amount of work per visit. Last time my upper teeth were cleaned. I was told to floss more because I was losing bone, etc.
I opted to use an "emergency" day and wait for a spot, like I did 5 months ago. I finally meet with the doctor to have him say they messed up, and to reschedule. He then launched into robot mode and said the same thing about bone loss, gum disease, etc. It was the exact same speech as last time. I tried to stop him and ask questions that pertain to me but got nowhere, and this strange behaviour seemed to infect the entire staff.
I repeatedly needed to ask what service they were going to provide me They suspiciously had ex-ray'd only one tooth, which got my hopes up that they would at least put in one filling today which didn't happen. I kept asking what exactly was the purpose of pulling me back there without having my xrays ready. I also asked him whether or not I could fill the cavity myself, how is it that he could notice bone loss, and many other questions that went completely ignored. He spoke on as if we were reading the dictionary, twice I told him that I had no sensitive teeth because he kept saying that he was going to put on to help sensitivity of my teeth. If this gel was going to feel over the cavities then I would have felt that they did something for me today. I grew suspicious when he refused to tell me how long the gel is on your teeth roughly.
I told him that I would not like the fluoride or paste on my teeth, nor did I want or need something for sensitivity, which is something that does not pertain to me. When it became clear that he had nothing that he could do, It was too late. He had already put the paste on my teeth which took no more than 10 seconds. She only got that far with me because he dodged all my questions, like why I had an x-ray on a tooth that he had no time to work on, or why he would put sensitivity paste on teeth that are not sensitive, or why he refused to believe me the last time I was there, the other lady had done some cleaning on my upper teeth. (free of charge).
The employees are public defenders of the medical world. They are the barrel doctors who have lost their humanity, and now just try to justify putting you in the chair, because once you have accepted their service you are liable to pay, whether you protested it, whether you needed it...that's not important because you need every service they provide.
I set myself a new appointment it's in May...5 months away, which ironically will make my x-rays become unusable (1 year)....perpetuating the madness and restarting the cycle..
