thinners. To me he has something systemic going on that is presenting itself as a dental problem. 17/18 should bother him but not spontaneously bleed. This is a guy that probably would see an MD unless it was a last resort, a rough sort not looking healthy for his age. Nothing on his Med Hx

. If not then we'd probably not do a prophy until we see a better number. I wonder if they lied about his A1C at the other dentist just to get his treatment done?An A1C of 9 translate to an average blood glucose of about 215. Not outrageous but definitely not healthy.

just wasn't healthy enough for full mouth ext's, or at least that's how it sounds from the article. Add anxiety, and she's an MI waiting to happen.

people truly are in pain. This has to be the case. For a healthy appearing youngish fellow medical professional in obvious acute distress to be treated the way I was blows my mind. Everyone I came in contact with had an issue with the meds. I told the nurses to check my previous medical records- I had
