I wanted to get some input regarding others' experiences with community dentists. Right now I have 3-4 patients waiting to be cleared or have extractions, some waiting on the order of months. I just had one patient's dentist make sure to let us know he is NOT cleared and that he needs 3 more scalings done before he can start radiation (bizarre).
Could just be the area I work in (I work in a rural setting), but it's like pulling teeth to get dentists and oral surgeons to do their jobs.
Has anyone had success with outreach and developing programs to get H&N patients the dental care they need?
At what point do you just take the risks of ORN and dental complications to avoid the risk of progression of the disease?
