I think it's good to be honest about a dentist on here, because this is the only way we can warn eachother or share a good testimony. Where else will we get honest answers?

IT should not have to be covered up if there are concerning or blatantly concerning elements. If that happens that we are doing a disservice to others by knowing negative testimonies/reports and keeping them silent. It is a fine line between alerting others, but being careful how we do it and making sure the alerts are genuine and enough to warrant some kind of tactful exposure.

Dr Hesham for the most part on here has had favourable testimonies, I do not believe he has a thing to worry about and he has always defended his position. But there are certain dentists out there that have a very bad ongoing track records, one that may have harmed many patients and to hide that and allow others to be sucked into going is to my mind almost a crime.

These forums are actually the few places one can rely on getting mostly honest and straight answers from fellow sufferers. Admittedly, it should not be abused or used as a way of deliberately stirring trouble and taking personal and unnecessary pot shots at a dentist, but if there are enough negative outcomes, then we have a duty to get the word out somehow.

But making sure it's done in a careful manner so it does not start a big flame war and puts Russ' forum at risk in the process, which happened in the past. If you see someone ask about a dentist and you KNOW for sure that dentist has totally messed you up and/or others, and you are being fair about your criticism, getting your facts straight, then it would be kind and wise to smiply state your brief concern and possibly email the person off the forum to give more detail on that.

That's just my view. Perhaps just stating "I did not have a good experience with this dentist and have a few concerns. I can email you in more detail if you like". Of course, if someone has a good testimony, then they are free to state it in detail with no risk.

Dr Hesham has his own method of doing mercury removals and other dentists have theirs. And that's what this thread is about. Which method sounds a good bet, and where do you want to place your trust? It's good people are sharing what their dentist does or what they found helped them.
