Any Dental People on this board?

[corarose]

I had to go to a Dentist that takes welfare, insurance and the vouchers from agency's that help people who need help.
I am not a rich person and I have worked as a Dental Assistant in the past and I know that they have different teeth for Welfare Recipients.

My Question is the Dentist that is making my teeth received a check for almost $4,000.00 dollars after I went into Northwestern last week and I also had to go to well you know where to try and get help to get the teeth out and they gave me an emergency card.

The woman at the Dental office keeps charging me up front for everything and she keeps telling me that the $4,000.00 hasn't arrived but I have copies of the Check that went to the office and so far I have paid $500.00 bucks out of my pocket within the last week to be put to sleep and things like that.

What I need to ask is how can I tell if she orders the cheap teeth and charges me for the expensive teeth.
Is there a way that I can check this out I don't trust her because of her attitude and I have that woman's intuition feeling going on here.

I told her since she had that extra cash coming in I want the better teeth and the Dentist told me he would order them but she acted like she is going to rip me off.

Is there a way of knowing if you got ripped off?

I am going to College right now and I will not have the money to pay for another set if she gives me the shitty ones.

1. You need to talk to your case worker and to the dentist.. not his helper

Make them aware that you know that there are different criteria in action here..

Forewarned is forearmed :)

2. I was wondering if there were markings on the bottom

I have been looking for websites but I can't find any that would tell me the difference.

3. Not That I'm Aware Of

Dentists usuaully farm out their fake teeth to shops that specalize in making dentures.
