Wow, 2 scraps of paper? That does NOT constitute your 'dental records' at all!
Is this what was forwarded to your new dentist?
There should be at the very least some basic information form with your (then) personal details, and ALL appointments and treatments chronologically listed. (I got photocopies of X-rays as well)
This is what I found on the Irish Dental Council site;
http://www.dentalcouncil.ie/g_dentalethics.php"16. Dentists have a duty to maintain adequate and accurate records of all matters relating to their treatment of patients. These records should be kept in a secure location and retained for a reasonable period, not likely to be less than ten years, before being destroyed. "
I would not stand for being fobbed off with post-its; what the hell kind of 'professional' treats their (ex) patients like that??
I guess you really did rock their denial boat with your impertinent mercurial awareness. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
Well I'd get some kind of formal letter together, let them know your experience isnt going to be just swept under the proverbial carpet like so many.
Isnt it strange that a record of your 'health' treatments is deemed so unimportant?
Why is it, in cases of unexplained deaths / homicides that human dental records are sometimes ESSENTIAL to the police investigations in identifying the deceased?
I'm damn sure these numpties wouldnt submit bloody POST-ITS to a court of law! lol.
