Okay so my friend's mom and sister went to the dentist the other day because his little sister had to get a tooth pulled. The tooth wasn't loose. It was in the way of other teeth and making her cry from pain. Now, my friend's family isn't exactly "well-off". They don't have the most money in the world.
They just have enough money for food and that's pretty much it. The parents sometimes give up their food just to ensure that their children are happy. Well anyway, the dentists wanted $21.80 to pull his sister's tooth and they didn't have the money. What did the people at Gentle Dental do? They refused to pull the tooth, leaving this little 8 year old girl in pain. The next day his little 8 year old sister stayed home from school and spent the entire day pulling out her own tooth that was NOT loose to begin with. She was forced to do what a professional dentist could have done, but refused to because they needed the money up-front. The "professionals" at Gentle Dental wouldn't help an 8 year old girl when she was in massive pain, so she resorted to DIY surgury. Does this sound "professional"?
No human should ever be denied medical care because they cant afford it.
