Had not been to Dr. Scott for a couple of years due to health reasons. A left lower bridge had come out and I took it in to be recemented and I had hoped to have a cleaning which I hadn't had for the same length of time.
His assistant took a full set of mouth x-rays. Dr. Scott looked at my teeth and scaled some of them (no cleaning). Recemented the bridge. Told me I had Oral Lichen Planus - that it was incurable and no one knows what to do for it. I was given no literature or advice, nor scheduled for another appointment.. The fee was $300
.
Very clean, nicely-appointed office with topnotch equipment. Dr.Scott and assistants are pleasant and helpful as well. I do think that he should have not just dropped this diagnosis on me without telling me if I should seek help from him again, from a Periodontist, an EENT specialist or ?? . Since my appointment on 9/30/05,I have found out through the Baylor College of Dentistry that this disease can invade all mucosal surfaces. and require very frequent follow up with frequent cleaning, etc. I turned to the Interne Det because I wanted some information. I spent half the night seeking help through BCD. I also joined their support group. This cost me nothing.
