Very disappointed that Commerce Drive Dental has decided to now mandate a "Wellness" blood pressure screening before service. Last cleaning they accepted my decline prior to service, but now they mandate it. I already have regular checkups with my medical care provider, so I don't need a wellness check from my dentist.
But there's more to the story. So, at the last blood pressure check, they said I had High Blood Pressure, yet never advised any further care instructions or what dental care reason they may now have as a result of this finding. So why take it? I immediately went to my medial doctor's clinic, just down the road, after the appointment, and they said I do not have high blood pressure and don't know why they would have told me that. So, I wasn't going to let them do this to me again today.
I could see if they found something in my gums that would warrant it or if I was anesthetized, but until then, their last taking only created a false concern and stressful experience for me. Declining a simple teeth cleaning for not taking a blood pressure is absolutely ridiculous.
I've just found another dentist and they will get my business. Customers and potential customers, beware so this stressful experience doesn't happen to you. read more
