Hospital lost my mothers dentures, can a dentist go there to replace them?
One hospital lost my mothers top set of dentures, they have agreed to replace them but she needs them now, she is back in main hospital since having to go back to ER, how do I find out if a dentist will go to the hospital? I have worked with case workers on this from both hospitals but they keep stalling saying they can’t find a dentist. Nurses says it is causing complications in mothers health care, shallow tests, and may delay her discharge… Any help appreciated and this is in Orlando, Florida.
call the dentist that made the dentures and he may make a trip to the hospital.
some large cities have mobile dentistry vans.
keep in mind that the price of a denture made by a mobile dentist may cost her 2 to 3 or 4 times as much.
you may need to schedule a transport (with physician clearance) to go to a dental office willing to take your mother. Look for a dental GPR (general practice residency) program. these dentists are usually trained in a hospital setting and may see your mom. Or you may need to see an oral surgeon that has hospital privileges. Although oral surgeons do not typically make dentures, some oral surgeons may be willing to do it depending on the circumstance.
good luck.
