I visit the EH Dental Care for first time some months ago, after some extractions I have in another European Country.
All of my life I was having bad quality of teeth and issues and now half of my teeth are gone. I've asked the Doctor for Xrays to check if I have any teeth remnants in my gums and she refuse, she told me that she can see clearly I haven't any remnants.
after some time, I go to an Audiology (NHS) for another health issue and they told me to ask from my Dentist to check if I have Tendomascular Disorder and also to take Xrays to check my head bones and joints. I told that to the Dentist and she check me but (for second time) she deny to took Xrays from me.
After that, Dentist build a Partial Denture for my lost teeth.
Today I told to the Dentist that I feel pain in my gum and I believe I have a teeth remnant. She check me with hand and she told me I'm wrong, it's just the gum and I feel pain for no reason but if I want she can take an Xray only for that part of my gum to check if I have a remnant or not.
Then I ask her if she could take full Xrays for all my mouth to check for other remnants of my lost teeths. Her answer was just a "No", nothing more than that, really!
I accept that (what else can I do? I'm not the Dentist and I cannot decide for myself) and I let her took Xray only for that part of my gum... AND SHE DISCOVERS A TEETH REMNANT!
I believe full Xrays exist for a reason. If 9-10 extracted teeth or Audiology's request aren't good reasons for you, If you have a taboo with full Xrays or you don't know how to use the Xray device, then I'm sorry I will not visit you again because I'm a human being and I need a Dentist who really cares for my teeth health. It's unacceptable to build a partial denture before make sure the patient don't have any teeth remnants from extractions. What kind of dentist are you? And why this attitude of ignorance every time I'm asking you for Xrays? My teeth deserves something better. I need a dentist who take full Xrays of my mouth to check for teeth remnants and BELIEVE ME it's not something hard to find. read more
