I have a cousin who is a sex therapist, she referred me to a dentist who is a friend of hers...?

Was he the same guy from the hottub question earlier?  LOL - definitely report him if that's the case - that'd be strike 2...\n\nPerhaps you could introduce him to your sex-party attending minister...or the guy with alzheimers that keeps getting into your bed?\n\nReport them...don't worry about getting sued - you still have that old lady's $10,000 in cash

That is called jealous behavior of an insecure friend. \nMaybe she was embarassed about her teeth but couldn't get them fixed so she lashed out.

You should be concerned that you are not keeping your Dentist in the loop he should know if your infection is not resolving.  \n\nCall him.

I think you're right.Sounds like they want to hook you up with the cousin so they don't feel guilty about seeing each other.Go for it if you are attracted to the cousin.If not.Tell them to lay off.Tell them you don't need any one planning your social life for you.

This actually sounds like a good resolution dream.  Since you, apparently, haven't spoken to this girl for years, however, you are maintaining a link for yourself through her website (and her husband's), it seems like you are wanting to make contact.\n\nIt also sounds like you think she'd be happy to hear from you (she "looked kind of happy") and you think that she has gotten her life on track (taking you back to the pre-addiction days).\n\nThen her husband (whom I assume you haven't met, yet) was also happy (you may feel that he'd be happy to know she has friends).  You ended up in a sandbox (like children-- again pre-addiction/past friends time), but it became transformed into YOUR house.   Therefore, I would think that it means that you are worried that her past "bad" behavior will follow you home and be a problem for you (thus, the bats).\n\nWhen you went into take out your teeth and you were relieved, it would show that (maybe they were baby teeth -- your past friendship--, and teeth often denote wisdom/thought, such as wisdom teeth), you were resolving your feelings about maybe not having contact with her by removing those thoughts (the teeth), which were rooted and could be "planted" elsewhere -- thus, removing her from your life and possible problems, and "replanting" her someplace else.\n\nCertainly, it appears that you are torn about contacting her, however, the majority of the dream indicates that you feel that her behavior was bad enough that you would feel "safer" and probably happier if you do NOT make contact with her.  \n\nIt sounds like this is a situation where you had a friend at one point, but she turned into something else (i.e. the bats), and you need to pull the plug (the teeth) and be relieved that she has gotten on with her life, but also to leave the past in the past.  \n\nHope this rings a bell.

Dont take this wrong, but coming from a dental assistant, dentists get hit up all the time to take on charity cases.  The money that they make doesn't all go in their pockets.  They also have salaries to pay to their staff, so they can not take on every request for free dental services that they recieve.  My dentist does take on alot of cases like this or accident victims, but after awhile he has to finally say no, because there are alot of people asking the same thing as you. Best advice I can give is to have a family member or friend write a letter telling about your disease and give any examples of the great unselfish things you do and send it to all the dentists in the area.  My dentist would be more apt to accept a case like this if a family member wrote the letter and not the person wanting the dental work.

I suspect HE isn't MUCH YOUR FRIEND if you disclose that publically,,,NOR SHOULD HE consider you as such.\n\n   If he has an anomoly, he should seek help from a medical professional, and I have to assume he didn't ask you to ask us, here, in this public forum.\n\n  To all you who answer negatively,,, GROW THE H UP, Yikes\n\nRev.

i'm a dental student clinican. i honestly would agree with you.. even us, students, do that. we are aware that patients can't answer as we kept talking while we treat.. it depends on the mood, it depends who the patient is, it depends on the case.. it's not always that we talk. we do not just treat patients to get money... we really want to know them.. patients are not just mere patients but probable friends for us. if your dentist asks you.. it really shows he/she is concern about you..=) HOW WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE A DENTIST to JUST STARE AT YOU FOR AN HOUR W/O SAYING ANYTHING.. that one is really something.. observe for yourself.. =)

Just tell her how sorry you are and ask her if maybe she needs help paying for it.  Maybe give her a card that will cheer her up.  If you tell her how you are feeling and she still mad at you try giving her a little time to cool down.  If she can't forgive you then maybe she wasn't such a true friend after all.  But I don't know how much capping a tooth would cost.  But have faith if she is a true friend she will get over it after all she was goofing off too and has to realize it could have been the other way around.  But just talk to her.  Good luck I hope everything works out for you and your friend Christine.

A birthday in the same mouth???  What is that?? That doesn't sound so good. You might want to get that seen by a Dr.

I had been in an accident that left me with shattered front teeth. I was self-conscious about it. Before I could get them fixed, some jackass (a complete stranger) walked up to me and very coldly said, "Your teeth look sooooo stupid. Why do you walk around looking like that? You'd better get those teeth fixed RIGHT NOW because your f**ked-up face is making me want to puke." I was really embarrassed. Did he think that I didn't realize that my dental work was messed up? There are little things called "appointments" that you have to make with doctors to get things done, you know. I had to wait until the dental clinic could get me in for that large a repair job, because it was going to be a rather long ordeal. Anyway, that comment was the absolute last thing I needed to hear.

Have a consult with your dentist...

lol yeah then maybe your cousin needs an exorcism ... like the movie. But since that's not the truth maybe you need help. But it did give me a laugh though.

well, no that's not being "messy". it just means maybe she wants to talk 2 you're other cousin for a little while. what's wrong with talking to other family members.  just try to do something 2gether like all 3 of u guys going to the movies or shopping or something. that way u 3 can bond as cousins. also, it may have something 2 do with the age difference. if you're really younger or older than the two of them then your cousin may have more in common with your other cousin than you so she might feel more comfortable talking to her.  don't get stressed out. i'm sure both of you will be talking tommorrow.

As a dental student, I recently had a conversation with a friend about such a dilemma (albeit for a dentist, who's essentially a "mouth" doctor).\n\nI believe that a doctor cannot have a romantic relationship with a patient if the "courtship" has occurred in a professional situation (ie: bedside, in a consulting room), nor can he/she use any information supplied in confidence (such as addresses or phone numbers) to contact the patient for the purposes of such a relationship. However, were the doctor to "court" this patient outside a professional situation (such as at the local pub, or at a music concert) then there is nothing ethically wrong about this, and the doctor would then be allowed to use any information supplied in this situation for the purposes of contacting the patient. If the patient says, "I gave you my phone number in the surgery this morning," the doctor should still insist on getting the number again - this will cover them in the case of an allegation of unprofessional conduct.\n\nEven after this, both parties must be aware that in a professional situation, the professional doctor-patient relationship must be maintained, and the doctor must not use his/her position to gain any advantage or disadvantage to the patient that he/she is not normally entitled to. The burden of responsibility falls on the doctor, who has a "duty of care" over the patient.\n\nTwo situations:\n\nA doctor finishes work at the hospital, goes to the local pub for a drink where he bumps into a patient. They talk for a while about various things but he politely declines to discuss her case. They then go back to her house where they have intercourse. \n\nAnother doctor is in his consulting room tending to a patient when she invites him out to for a drink. He agrees to meet her at the pub that evening. They discuss various things, and the doctor agrees to provide a more expensive therapy for the same cost because he likes her. After this, they go back to her house where they have intercourse.\n\nWhich one of these doctors has acted unprofessionally? It's the second one, and even though both doctors did the same things, they did so in DIFFERENT situations, the first one being more appropriate than the second. Should the second patient report her doctor to a practising board, the doctor will find himself with the unpleasant experience of having to defend his actions, whereas the first doctor can simply tell the board he met the patient in a casual, social setting for which the board has no jurisdiction.\n\nSo the ethics really comes down to doing the right thing at the right time.
