I was treated very rudely by Dr Claeys, and spoken to as if I was a badly behaved teenager instead of a 35 year old woman. I was berated for ten minutes about my oral condition, and told I was destroying myself.
Ignored my x-rays and ignored that i have a very large overbite, and have had chronic dry mouth for fourteen years. Spoke to me in an abusive tone, and threatened that i would not be given a kidney transplant should they fail because I had such terrible gum disease (despite the fact that heart problems stem from gum disease, not kidney problems!)
I have to get dentures because I'm allergic to titanium, I did a lot of research on the subject.
Also, her behaviour leads the casual observer to believe my mouth is a wasteland, while it IS in a poor state, my teeth are not even rotting out of my head. I have a few cavities, my front lower teeth are loose, but I can chew and I don't have any physical signs of gum disease. My gums ARE reddish and slightly swollen looking but have been my entire life, even when I was regularly visiting the dentist. It's natural, if odd.
Also, the "payment plan" is stupid, you can extract whatever number of teeth you like, but be prepared to drop $4k on the last day in order to GET the dentures
