The problem is, Dentists offices are not equip to handle trauma situations. There is NO trauma doctors when things go wrong, dentists doctors usually have to call 911 and many of them don't know how to handle trauma situations, the only thing they know is how to do, are things with teeth. Only VERY FEW locations have MD's who have done internships, residences and become a fellow then an Attending for more than 5 years in trauma course, then go on their own as a dentist. I have seen this myself, when I went to a dentist to get a cleanup and a man had complications with the medication the dentists gave him while operating on his teeth, the man expired in the chair. The only thing those dentists could do is call 911. No one out of the 30 people working in that office in Midtown Manhattan knew anything about trauma situations, so the man expired in their chair. That scared the living begeezes out of me, that I walked out and did not get my teeth cleaned. Ever since, I have been terrified and started to do some research all over the net, only to find out that dentists offices don't know how to handle trauma situations. And they do NOT have actual trauma doctors or equipment to handle trauma in their offices. I honestly believe that dentists should have their offices as close as possible to hospitals, as much as right next door or across the street, so if something goes wrong, the hospital is right there and REAL trauma doctors can handle the situation.

I don't view this as a knock against dental implants in general. As a doctor who has had safety issues before, I see a pattern of behavior that does not seem to regard key dangers for elderly patients. I've always used a local because I'm terribly afraid of full sedation and have had no issues, especially having established an understanding I require *less* of a local than what is assumed. I suppose the takeaway from stories like these is dentists/endodontists who will be double-checking their safety procedures. Thank you for this video!!! I wish I could travel to you for my next tooth replacement.

I would go with the oral maxillo surgeon on the right to have my implant surgery done if I had to make the choice between these two dental surgeons because the other is just a periodontist. Even then my oral maxillo surgeon said a practitioner should have at least 10 years in practice ideally to be really experienced. The one in the video looks pretty young to me. I had a major grafting complication from a periodontist and it was very experienced oral maxillo surgeon who they referred me to that saved me. He said it should only really be properly trained oral maxillo surgeons doing these type of complex surgery.

That's why I would never get sucked into doing implants. They try really hard to get everyone on implants and away from dentures because with implants you still have to visit them regularly but with dentures hardly ever. I've had full top and bottom dentures for years and love them. I can eat normally and I've not had any issues. With implants you always have a chance to get infection. Infection can go to your heart. Get dentures, less expensive, safer and they look and feel like real teeth. These are not your great grandparents denture's, they are made really well these days.

Yes, it is generally okay to have dental implants at age 80, as long as you are in good health and your jawbone is healthy enough to support the implant. Age itself is not a limiting factor for dental implants, as long as you do not have any medical conditions that would prevent you from undergoing the procedure or affect the healing process. It is important to consult with a dental professional, such as a periodontist or oral surgeon, to assess your overall health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. They will evaluate your bone density, oral health, and medical history to determine if dental implants are a viable option for you. If you are considering dental implants at age 80, make sure to discuss any concerns or questions you may have with your dental provider. They can provide you with information specific to your situation and help you make an informed decision about the best treatment options for your dental health. 👍👌✅

One dentist I consulted with refused to do my work without anesthesia even though I've spent my life practically in a dental chair. Another dentist doesn't even offer it, but they tend to do the work over several days. Sometimes they just give Valium. NEVER BUT NEVER drink coffee before your procedure. I don't know why but caffeine and dental work don't mix. For me, if I have caffeine in my system I don't numb up correctly.

I was monitored for fifteen or more minutes afterwards to check for any reactions. They had a plan in place to execute at the first sign of trouble; as I get the feeling you at NTDS most likely have. Bad things can happen for the simplest medical or dental procedure. Someone has to step up and make plans for when this happens; not say I’m sorry after the fact.

I was offered general but decided not to bother. Btw, they're all perfect with no bone loss and it has stabilized my teeth and smile ! I'd love to know your opinion on the options of general or local anesthesia, and would higher risk patients be safer with local.

You blame her for wanting to improve her quality of life. There may be many reasons why she waited so late in life to get new teeth. Perhaps, she finally saved the money to pay for the new teeth. There might be other reasons why she waited, whatever her reason for waiting, she most certainly was asked by the Dentist. Why not ask him, since she is no longer with us anymore. Don’t you think that a Doctor of Dental Medicine would have the Schooling and Training to select Patients that meet minimum Dental/Medical Standards. Even Ray Charles would have been able to see that the woman was not a suitable candidate for this Dental treatment and surgery. There is the smell of money that takes over the brain of many Dentist and clouds their thinking. Pressure from the business owner for the dentist to do high dollar procedures. The bottom line is that the dentist takes an oath to do no harm. The Patient looks to the dentist to make good and honest decisions and to offer them without any bias. In my valued opinion, I question whether the dentist in question did that.
