This is my experience and my opinion of this dental facility: Affordable Dentures and Implants,
1700 N. US 77, Waxahachie, Texas
I have seen three different hygienists in the short time I WAS there. Amanda is there now, and in my opinion, she is by far the most rude, pushy, unprofessional person I've ever seen in all the dental offices I've ever been to. But, I thank her and the office "manager" because I would never have had a reason to expose them for how unprofessional and immature they are and-how they bully the people. I would never have found out that there are safer alternatives to the unsafe procedures that this office demands (or they will refuse to honor the scheduled appointment). Apparently, this is the norm for this company. They demand compliance, or they kick you out.
I have explained to them that I've had cancer and two surgeries. I try to live a holistic life. Regardless of what pressure and what they say, ANY amount of radiation is NOT safe. It builds up in the body and NEVER goes away. The constant "small" amounts build up like a volcano and it can erupt as cancer anywhere in the body, including the brain, neck, and other head areas.
X-Rays can damage DNA.
ADA RULES states: "Radiographic screening for the purpose of detecting disease BEFORE clinical examination should NOT be performed"...they are NOT in complance to ADA rules!!
They should ONLY be used WHEN there's a problem. BUT FOR THE DENTAL INDUSTRY, IT'S MONEY OVER HEALTH...
I have only gone there for a cleaning. I DO NOT have implants, dentures, bleeding, or swelling, and I have all my original teeth. I did have x-rays there when I first came, so they have them. I haven't had cavities in over 50 years. Still Amanda (NOT A DENTIST) continued to push x-rays, visibly angry at me for refusing.
In June, 2024, I arrived for my SCHEDULED CLEANING, as I walked in, Amanda TOLD me to go into the x-ray room, I refused. Before cleaning my teeth that day, she spoke to the office manage who came and looked at the computer screen with my info, then they whispered behind my back. After the cleaning, a DENTIST was called. He looked at my x-rays and examined my mouth. He DID NOT SAY anything about needing x-rays AT ALL. Amanda, however did. She continued about getting x-rays and even said, "we don't make a penny from x-rays", NOT TRUE, insurance pays for them, but ONLY if I get them...
I scheduled another appointment, stressing--for CLEANING ONLY, for Dec 20, 2024. Again, like in June, she tried to get me into the x-ray room-BEFORE SHE even looked in my mouth.
In both June 2024 and the Dec 2024...all against ADA RULES!!!
-----SEE-The study, "First Do No Harm-The Impact of Financial Incentives on Dental X-Rays" was published by the Journal of Health Economics.
Over 150 million x-rays are given globally each year. ONE-THIRD are dental. That's alarming. STOP BEING A CASH COW AND FORCE THEM TO USE NO-RADIATION ALTERNATIVES -THAT ARE AVAILABLE NOW.
The December appointment was for cleaning. They KNEW I would refuse the x-rays. They waited SIX months and never called to tell me they were going to refuse the scheduled cleaning and kick me out if I didn't comply.
They waited so I would not be able to get another dentist. It was all about power and shows how unprofessional and vindictive AFFORDABLE DENTURES AND IMPLANTS THEY (bullies) are.
I waited to talk to the dentist (I think his name is Dr.Ho). I thought he was in charge, I was wrong. He said," l'm only an employee".
My opinion is that bullies "ruin" this office with no over-site, AND APPARENTLY TRAINED TO PRESSURE PEOPLE INTO UNNESSARY X-RAYS FOR MONEY.
AGAIN SEE--- 'First DO NO HARM- The Impact of FINANCIAL INCENTIVES ON DENTAL X-RAYS' published by the Jornal of Health Economics.
What I've researched and found is DEXIS Carivu. No radiation, no-cancer way of doing MORE than the harmful x-rays. Lots of information on Y- tub. Your health is only important to YOU. Start demanding safe procedures, nothing will change until people demand it. read more
