“Free” treatments
“In certain structures and in particular certain dental care centers, it can sometimes be offered to the patient to carry out fairly heavy treatments without paying a euro. The patient must be vigilant because it is not because he does not spend anything from his pocket, that he must accept a treatment proposal which would seem very important compared to the problem for which he came to consult at the start”, warns the dentist.
An important turnover
“In certain structures and in particular in certain dental care centers, there may be an important” turnover “, that is to say that dentists do not stay long within the structure. The patient can thus find himself having to change a dentist regularly or can be a little lost because there is no continuity of care.

Too short time
“When heavy and complex treatments are undertaken, there are incompressible healing deadlines that are necessary, ranging from several months to sometimes even more than a year. If the practitioner were to offer him to carry out all of the treatment in simply a few sessions and in a very short time period, this should draw the attention of the patient”, entrusts the Dr. Jérémy Amzalag.
An intuition
“If the patient has a doubt about the feeling he had with a dentist working in another big care structure, the patient should not hesitate to ask for a second opinion with another dentist who practices in a smaller independent liberal structure”, Finally concludes the Dental surgeon.
