.....school of thought amongst pediatric dentists that says it's ok to skip the cleaning and fluoride treatment on a child during initial visits or recall appointments?
I know how I was taught in school. I know how I was taught in my GPR. But before I call a lawyer and JHACO I want to get some feedback.
My husband took my son to the dentist today for a recall visit. There was no prophy or any form done, nor was there any administration of fluoride. My husband doesn't believe they did either six months ago also, but he's not positive. But, he IS positive about what he saw today.
They have shortchanged my son, IMO. I would be willing to bet my bottom dollar that they billed our insurance for both prophy and fluoride. If they falsified my son's record to state that these procedures were performed, that's criminal activity.
As you can imagine I'm pretty livid. For those of you who may ask why I don't work on my son personally, it's because my son had cleft lip and palate and the pediatric dentist he sees is part of the craniofacial team that my son is treated by.
I'm trying to think of the best way to proceed with this.....
