The Shopper's Guide to Dentistry 9-2$% OF DENTAL WORK CALLED SUBSTANDARD By Herbert S. Denenberg Former Commissioner Pensylvania Insurance Dept. Just as a medical license is no guarantee of quality or competence, neither is a dental license. Bas£d on the best available evidence, the percentage of incompetent or dishonest dentists in this country may be 15 pe£ cent or higher. Such a ratio means that your chance of getting a dentist who does not merit your confidence may be only one out of seven. Making matters worse is the absence of any effective system of disciplining -- even removing -- unsatisfactory dentists from active practice State agencies which have jurisdiction generally lack the legal authority and resources to protect the public is such cases. Ar)d state dental associations are generally reluctant to act against any dentists for any reason. Nor are local associations much better. All too rare is the case of discipline by fellow dentists or license revocation by a state. As a result, much dental work is substandard. A clinical evaluation of Medicaid patients in New York State found 9 per cent of the work done was inexcusably poor and another 9 per cent indicated fraud. A more representative study of the New York Medicaid program indicated that 25 per cent of all amounts billed were for unnecessary dental work. Dr. Samuel Kaplan, ad­ ministrator of dental service plans, estimates that 15 per cent of all work checked by hi§ office is substandard. x-ray Exposure... Conditions mav also be substandard. For example, the American Dental Association recommends that all dentists use lead aprons to protect patients during x-ray exposure. Yet an ADA survey showed that only 26.7 per cent do so. Dentists also have been slow to introduce accepted methods of disease prevention to patients. One insurance company in Utah reported that only 17 out of 600 dentists covered by the company filed dental disease prevention programs with the firm as requested. .-\nother big problem is tooth extractions. There are ap­ proximately 56 million of them every year. Yet it is reliably estimated that as many as 6 million of these teeth could be saved with proper treatment, such as root canal work. Ex­ tractions outnumber root canal procedures by six to one. Under the circumstances, persons who really care about their teeth often must defend themselves. They must do this by becoming better informed about dentists and dental work. But they must begin with their own dental care since they must be their own "dentists" all but a few days of the year. The best dentist in the world is wasting his time on a patient who does not take proper care of his teeth. Effect on Health... Lake of good dental care can lead not only to loss of teeth but also to loss of good health, even life itself. Dental cavities in children can cause facial deformities, bacterial con­ tamination of the blood and kidney disease. Poor chewing can cause numerous digestive disorders; it can even lead to death. An estimated 40 to 50 people die each year from partially chewed lobsters or steaks caused by a combination of poor teeth and one too many cocktails. One of the most difficult tasks is selecting a good dentist. Advice from friends and relatives may be helpful for openers, but you should also consult some experts' in the dental field. The best source may be a faculty member of a university school of dentistry. Other good sources are dental specialists such as orthodontists (teeth ^traighteners), periodontists (gum experts) or endodontists • root canal). Dentist's Dentist... Another good clue is to find out what dentist you doctor uses. Better yet, try to find out where dentists go for their own dental work. Dental societies will give out names but won't separate the good from the bad. Another indication of a good dentist may be participation in Blue Shield. This organization has been doing an impressive job of checking the quality of dental work in some states. By all means, avoid dentists who are fast on the "pull." Teeth are supposed to last a lifetime, and with good care and reasonable luck, they will. A tooth should be removed only as a last resort. Once it is out. it is gone forever. So before it is pulled, make sure there is no way to save it. Seek a consultation from another dentist, but be sure it is an independent consultation. He should not be connected with the other dentist in any way. Get Explanations... Avoid dentists who don't explain all alternative treat­ ments and possible com­ plications. For example, if a tooth must be removed, have your dentist explain whether it should be replaced with a removable or fixed bridge. C o n t r a r y t o p o p u l a r i m ­ pression, every missing tooth need not be replaced. And when a filling is needed. have your dentist explain the relative merits of silver (also called "amalgam"), gold or the newer plastic materials. Many dentists take too many x-rays and thereby subject patients to unnecessary radiation. In the absence of an unusual condition, full-mouth x- rays need not be taken more frequently than every five years. But for a special con­ dition, an x-ray can be an in­ valuable tool of good dentistry. If cost is a major problem, consider going to dental school clinic. Work is usually slower there but generally as good as elsewhere.
