Can I go to another Dentist this year?

I have Medicaid or Medicare and my mom has both.





I am very dissatisfied with this experience with these Dentists ( read my other questions if you want details). My mom is quickly finding herself not happy with them either.

If you want short story-- 10 months ago perfect teeth with dentist at this place. This time woman, drills teeth she didn't say she was going to,.. she said she was going to do 3 teeth. Had allergic reaction to shots she forced on me against my will, she couldn't finish.. didn't know why I was haveing those reactions since noone is allergic to shots or has any side effects accoridng to her. My mom got me dentist from last time, guy drills teeth that isn't that dentist [without shot]. 4 teeth this time, 2 last time,.. makeing 3 more teeth then I was told,.. only one tooth is one of the ones she said was going to get filling. He says to come back for untold number of more fillings.

You need to check with your insurance. In WI, you can only have 1 checkup and cleaning (if you are over 13) one time per year. Fillings are a different story, they can be done whenever. What kind of reaction did you get to anesthetic? Side effects are rare. Alot of people experience rapid heartbeat, panicky feeling. If so, that is from the epinephrine in the anesthetic. Ask to use without epi. Also, maybe previous dentist missed some cavities on the xray, or they were small enough to watch for the time being and now needed to be treated. To avoid cavities in the future, chew sugarless gum, avoid soda, juices and other sweetened liquids like Gatorade. If you are going to drink a soda, have it with a meal, don't sip over a long period of time. Besides brushing, make sure you floss! Most people get interproximal (in between the teeth) types of cavities. Also, you could use a fluoride rinse to help prevent cavities.
Reply:Yes you can change a dentist or doctor anytime you want to.
Reply:Every plan is different..Some do not allow you to switch except once a year and some do allow you to. The only person who can answer that for you is your medical insurance.
