To begin with let me give you some
background, I have not been to the dentist
in two years due to moving and laziness.
I know this was a poor decision. I went
for a cleaning today at a new dentist. I
had a set of x-ray done and then was
checked for gingivitis and such. During
the this check the hygentist called out
numbers while another person wrote what
she said. She told me that number 1-3
were good but anything over 4 was bad.
She said 5 three times. She told me that
four areas of my gums were bleeding. She
then told me that they would not be able
to clean my teeth because of gingivitis.
I would need to come back to have water
and something else put on my gums and I
would need a prescription. Later, after
4-6 weeks, I would have something closer
to a regular cleaning. The dentist
checked my teeth and said nothing about
this. After this I was sent out of the
room to look at the charges for this
procedure...The computers were down and I
was told they would call me later today.
The hygentist said they would not have
time to start cleaning my teeth today. It
is now 8:50 and I doubt I will be getting
a call. What in the world is going on?
