Due to my stupidity I’m going to several dentists at once.
I have many many cavities and busy work that’s why when I can’t make appointment with one dentist I go to one that open on sunday and holiday.
I did say that I’m going somewhere else besides this clinic but never explained in real detail so idk if they ever got a real picture of my situation and how many dentists I’m going.
I just want to know if I can get in trouble over this, especially my insurance later on. Like is there any rule that you can only go to one dentist?
if they just say hey you can’t use insurance for this dentist then I’ll be fine but I don’t want them to suddenly charge me for past treatment 🙁
Edit: thanks for the replies! I wrote this on lunch break so might be missing a lot of detail
I currently go to 2 dentist(treating 2 different teeth that might take some time) but thinking of adding one more because of unbearable teeth pain. Probably going to stop seeing one of the 2 dentist tho (doctor always treating 3 patient at the same time, mean nurses)
Why I want to add one more dentist: the other 2 dentist couldn’t identificate the source of my pain so I’m thinking of checking it at a more modern clinic.
Before this I had one dentist told me they can’t treat me unless I got permission from the other dentist because 大人の事情 and had a dentist told me that treating multiple teeth at the same time might make it hard to eat. iirc none said its strictly 禁止 tho.
Even went to 2 dentist at the same day before (I asked the receptionist if its okay and she said yes)
It’s just the doctor reaction’s that kinda iffy when they notice I went to different dentist. But again they didn’t say ダメ.
Now why I’m making this post is because I tried to search online if it’s actually okay or not to do this and I can’t find a real answer. One web say that using 保険証/insurance to go to multiple dentist is forbidden but another web says ok. google search also says that insurance need to know who is my main dentist?
If there is no legal problem with using my insurance like that then I’m fine with pissing off a few dentists lel (I will try to settle to one but these treatments are too long…)
