Sorry, this part really made me especially suspicious --

It's like he feels he's developed some special, SECRET, proprietary technique for safe removal. It it's so simple why is it secret? Why not elaborate the safety measures used? And if it's so effective in protecting patients, why not fully disclose the technique? What sort of multi-layered technique is used? What materials are used? Why does the patient need to be sedated in order for it to be safe?

Talk about uniformed consent! I wouldn't want any dentist to approach my mouth unless I knew, understood, and agreed with everything he was doing.

"may I quote the Arab Andalucian scientist ibn sinna who once said, “Your hypothesis might be valid, but why not try the experiment?” The methods we adopt came about after careful examination and after subjecting them to the all important experimentation."


Precisely what type of experiments have you performed and under what circumstances and situations? Were your experimentations done on people? Have any of your experiments failed or produced undesirable results? If so, what were those results? How would you compare (via results of experimentation) between using a rubber dam, for example, and your secret "multilayered" technique to block the teeth from the throat?

While it's nice to have a dentist engage in dialogue here, I find that each time Hesham posts he raises more questions in my mind then I had before. And my questions are mostly categorized as to the true quality (or lack thereof) of said dentist. Sorry to sound so blunt, but I find myself quite flummoxed.

I would not pay for the services of a dentist who uses secret techniques and experimentation. I'm lead to believe that this is so because of Hesham's unwillingness to fairly disclose his removal procedures.

Perhaps I'm over-reacting and jumping to conclusions. But I trust no one -- least of all, dentists. I'm curiously reminded of Dr. Frankenstein and now my imagination has gone wild with images of Dr. Heshamstein. Sorry, but that's just how I'm feeling right now.

Dr. Hesham, if you care to elaborate on any of the above questions, I'm all ears.
