Tooth and Mouth Problems
Serious Infection Control Concerns
Dear Doctors, I am currently in the middle of dental treatment and deeply concerned about the safety of all patients at this clinic. We simply trust our dentists without doubt assuming they provide the best care. However, I've genuinely observed that this dentist does not keep even a 5-min gap between patients and fails to change or sterilize handpieces. While he disposes syringes and gloves, the handpiece remains attached to the chair is used on consecutive patients without being autoclaved. During treatment, I observed him touching patients mouth and then handling the headlight and other surfaces with contaminated gloves, with no sanitization between sessions. When I shared my concerns, he claimed he was "following protocols." but contradicts streralization guidelines and I am worried due to this negligence. Is it ever acceptable to use handpieces without heat sterilization? Is a five-minute turnaround sufficient for safety? Thank you for your guidance.

I want an expert’s second opinion to confirm whether my progress is on track, if this duration is normal for my case, and how much longer the treatment may take. Please advise if any changes in plan are needed and what results I should realistically expect going forward.

Tooth pain
My daughter went to a dentist for tooth pain. The pain is there only while chewing food. So after check up the doctor advised for wisdom tooth removal. But since she is in hostel, she does not want to remove it now and will do it once she comes home after a month. Is it okay to wait until then ? Also, the doctor did not give any pain medication. Can she take pain medication for wisdom tooth ache?
