LACKS BASIC CLEANLINESS; USES OUTDATED AMALGAMS for fillings
While removing a filling from my mouth, Dr Spindel stopped to take notes.
He opened a drawer and wrote with a pen. I then asked ( with a mouth full
of novacaine) to please change his gloves before resuming the filling.
He replied "I will then have to change my gloves 10 times per procedure".
I then asked him again to please change his gloves.
(He then rinsed off his gloves but NEVER changed them. I am not kidding!)
I could not leave because too much work was already in progress.
Is it acceptable dentistry to touch DIRTY objects and then
place your hands BACK in a patient's mouth?
( I would also like this review to be on record in case I get some sort of infection. If he could do this, I now have a concern if his instruments are properly sterilized)
In addition and before I realized it, he put an amalgam filling in my mouth knowing
that I had a concern about such fillings.
(Finally, the tooth that
needed the new filling is now 'cracked' and I may LOSE it. However, I cannot be
completely sure if this is Dr. Spindel's fault. However there was no mention of it when he began the procedure.)
On the positive side, his office staff is lovely.
