Does your dentist grope your chest?

Posted By: Interesting on 2009-02-26

Woodland, CA — The attorney for a Woodland dentist told jurors that his client massaged women's chests as part of a medical treatment.


Defense attorney Michael Rothschild told the six-man, six-woman Yolo County jury that Mark Anderson was treating his female clients for temporomandibular disorder, or TMD. The attorney says the condition affects the muscles of the upper body.


Anderson faces 19 felony charges for skin-to-skin contact and one misdemeanor for touching a patient's breasts over her clothing. The incidents occurred between February 2005 and his arrest in August 2007 and brought complaints from 14 women.


One of the initial 20 felonies was dropped Monday as Rothschild and Deputy District Attorney Robert Gorman began closing arguments.


Closing arguments were to continue Tuesday before the case was to go to the jury.

What does the Chest x-ray say
the findings are? Can't guess with the full radiology report...then you still can't "guess", unless we are playing a game "Who can properly diagnose the patient?" LOL That could be a fun game.
How about a hope chest?
My sister-in-law had a fiance who was really into woodworking. He built and carved a beautiful hope chest/blanket box for her and even placed the engagement ring in it. As I recall, he carved some of her favorite flowers, and even carved in scenes from some of their favorite places, and of course, their intertwined initials. It was really lovely.
Defrosting chest freezer
Anyone have any quick fixes for defrosting a chest freezer, this is the first time I have had one and the frost is starting to build up, is full so is there a way to take everything out and defrost it quickly, without turning it off and letting it AL melt itself?  Thanks in advance.
Friend non MT - had chest pain
has a lot going on in her life that is not good - went to ER - everything was okay but they told her they want to do a stress test - she called me and said "I don't need a test - I know I am under a lot of stress!"  Thought that was cute.  Apparently if they explained it to her in the ER she was on morphine and Phenergan and didn't understand.
Chest pain relieved by Nitro
I received a phone call from my brother last night.  He sounded really bad.  He told me that he had been admitted to the hospital because he had chest pain that went to the back of his shoulder blades and down his left arm.  This has been happening for 3 weeks.  He did got to his PCP and he did an  EKG and he did not like what he saw (bro did not any specifics) and they were going to do a stress test on 08/07.  Well, since this episode, they are going to go ahead and do the stress test tomorrow, which is actually today.  Anyway, they were telling me that his enzymes were doing fine so far.  They said that since his chest pain was relieved by Nitro they are sure it is heart-related, maybe a clogged artery.  I never heard of chest pain being relieved by Nitro having any diagnostic value.  Bro is 36 years old, not too overweight but a little overweight.  He does not smoke.  He does drink occasionally but I am not sure who much though as I have never seen him drunk nor do I see him with a beer can in his hands regularly.  He has, however, had a highly stressful life.  Bro was telling me that on the phone, part of it is his doing some of it is not.  I remember with he called 2 weeks ago telling me they suspect things going on with his heart, mom and I thought it was anxiety.  It maybe more serious.  I am worried.  I cannot believe my brother is going through this so young. 
Not really rib, but in the left side of her chest, not the right. Referred pain

You both need top-zipped purses with long straps to sling diagonally over your chest

Yay! Give him a high-5 or chest bump (whatever young people do these days) for me..nm

That's what my dentist will say, too.

It's just $600 for a crown that my insurance won't cover.  Yikes!


My DH needs to go to the dentist, he refuses. We have been
married 18 years and he hasn't been since we've been married.   I told him I would make an appointment for him and the rest of the family to go and we'd do it all at once and he is adamant that he is NOT going.  I don't know why he doesn't want to go.  I know they will tell him he needs lots of work because he does.  His teeth are rotten, but stained badly and I feel like it is holding him back from advancing in the job market.  I'm going to make appointments tomorrow for the whole family and tell him he's going too.  He'll have to cancel the appointment if he's not going to go and I'm don't plan on telling him the name of the dentist (we are going to a new one since my kids have aged out of the pediatric dentist). 
At next cleaning, would use another dentist
xx
It has already been discussed with the dentist and
her orthodontist. The damage comes from over use of any product, including those treatments one can receive in the dental office setting.
absolutely, but the dentist said that it is...
because of too much sugar and not brushing her teeth in the report. He said he stressed the importance of good oral hygeine, et cetera.
The dentist we go to charges

We have insurance.  Have you asked your primary care doctor if there is a clinic or something like that to take care of your husband's dental care?  It's worth a shot.  I had heard something about dentists in training offering cleaning and such for a much cheaper rate.  I think the obstacle would be if they found a cavity or whatever.  Good luck to you!  By the way, we are on the East Coast, so not sure if prices vary by region or not.


 


Update about dentist from below post sm
My dentist called me last night and apologized.  She is doing to write off the difference.  She was very nice and I told her I'm not one to complain and I'm not a cheat either.  So we worked out stuff and I will continue to go to her. 
Excellent suggestion on the dentist
He has a cleaning scheduled in June (the soonest we could get him in without missing school) and at 17 he has never had a cavity. Well, the last time he was there was about 8 months ago so he was 16 then if we want to get technical. LOL! Whew, I finally slept last night. Definitely starting to feel a bit better, but I did make his fav. dinner last night, lasagna, and while he ate just fine, normally there are very few leftovers and not even half was eaten. DD suddenly decided yesterday she no longer likes lasagna so all she ate was salad and bread. I know my radar is up now and I will be picking everything apart. Watching what he eats, if he goes to the bathroom shortly after eating, etc. Even though this has been tough, I put my parents through so much more. I really owe them an apology.
you have got the ole stick it to the dentist syndrome
I paid that bill also and it is awful. Tell the dentist you want a different prize.
I would also opt for dentures. But get a really good dentist....sm
Sooner or later you will have to get dentures anyways, it looks like that.
Whatfor AL the pain and torture in between?
And do not accept dentures that do not fit or are uncomfortable. Send them back to the lab until the fit is perfect, this is your right, dentures are expensive and if they do not fit right, you will have all sorts of pain, headaches etc...
I had bridges done and I sent them back thrice until they fit, without extra charge. The fist set looked like a 'rollercoaster'!

It seems that you suffered your whole life from calcium deficiency.

My dentist office charges if you miss - sm
your appt. (or don't call and cancel 24-hours ahead) But they had me sign a paper acknowledging that they told me this and that I agree to the terms. This sounds totally bogus and a scam to boot. Good luck.
Our dentist recommends Crest Whitestrips

My dentist says SOFT toothbrush, never firm!
All these years, everyone thought stiff brushes were better than soft, and the harder and longer you brushed, the better. WRONG! I now have lots of cavity and root issues going on because I have essentially worn off much of the enamel on my teeth between the gumline and the center of the tooth. Have had to have more cavities filled, as well as lots of restorative work. Now I use a soft baby's toothbrush!
My dentist also recommend Crest strips
She said she could do the whitening but it would yield no better result than an OTC product. Check the website too, they may have coupons available that you can print or sign up to receive by mail. I'm finding a lot of brand name product websites do this now.
I had ZOOM in my dentist's office and am very pleased.
I tried Crest White Strips but they didn't do anything. Zoom was pricey, but my teeth were really yellow. They are much, MUCH nicer. I maintain with a 45-minute bleach at home twice a week. Right after I had my teeth whitened, I received a lot of compliments, but people couldn't quite figure out what was different. I heard a lot of "Did you get your hair cut?" and "Did you get new glasses?" LOL.
Tell you dentist to put 'veneers' over your teeth, if you can afford it nm
nm
Without anesthesia, and done by a dentist with severe halitosis. :)
:)
It's true. My kids' dentist told me this yeas ago. sm
If the enamel is brushed away, it exposes the tooth first and they the root is invaded by the decay.

Gums should also be brushed as well as the tongue.
Knew a dentist Candy Treat - for real

A dentist who does breast exams should lose his licence. Besides...
I categorily refuse manual breast exams. If I want to check fir cancer, I go for a mommogram.
Find a dentist advertised as gentle that will put him under for work being done. They're out
