Also I have had all of my "silver" fillings removed over the course of the year (quite costly) (worth it since my migrains are gone) but they would like to "paint" floride on at my next cleaning and I have said I am not interested. The hygenist said "well just give me a reason why you wouldn't want it". I guess saying "because I don't want it" isn't going to satisfy them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
========== Bernadette, It's YOUR mouth. YOU are paying THEM for their services. That they are putting you on the spot is inappropriate-not to mention suspicious. I would tell them that they don't need a reason, and that I'll see another dentist if they don't abide by my wishes. Even so, I'd think twice about going to such a dentist anyway. I'd be concerned that they might slip things into my mouth that don't belong there, without telling me. Nenah
