Open Question: What is the difference between a dentist doing gum treatment and a periodontist doing gum treatment?

Filed Under (heart issues) by admin

Open Question: what happens to a sick puppy that is returned to a puppy mill?
i asked a similar question earlier because this has to do with this puppy i have fallen in love with at the pet store.
this is a pet pad store that gets there puppies from a puppy mill in kansas. i saw this puppy a few days ago and loved him the first second i saw him. i found out yesterday he has a heart murmur grade 4 and so he is now not for sale(sometimes they give away the sick puppies)
they told me they are shipping him back to kansas! what will they do with him? iv been told they will breed him but i dont think they will if he has heart problems, does anyone know what will happen to him. i need to know, i cant imagine him having to be shipped back and then who knows what =(
one of the guys at pet pad said the breeder (a huge puppy mill, not just a puppy mill but breeds mannny other animals) would take him back and be able to fix him. im just having the hardest time believing that, he is the cutest yellow lab puppy and i just dont know what will happen. the guy at the petstore also sounded as if he was going to refuse me adopting him, i dont get it!!
thank you so much for reading and i hope everyones pets are happy and healthy
thank you everyone for all the answers, i will try to go get him tomorrow before he is “shipped out” on tuesday. agian thank you for all your answers i appreciate them a ton =)

Open Question: What is the difference between a dentist doing gum treatment and a periodontist doing gum treatment?
My dentist told me to see a periodontist to get gum treatment done as i have gum disease. as he said he is not experienced to give gum treatment to pregnant women(i am 24 weeks). As he gave me anesthetic before when i had a filling and i shook alot and my heart was beating so fast and i had to tilt my heat backwars. So he said he doesnt want to do gum treatment on me at all as he has no experience with pregnant womens and i saw him scared when i had the reaction of shaking.
So the 1st trip to periodontist cost me $190 and i got back $45 from medibank, which was 10mins to tell me how to brush my teeth and use a mouth wash. My periodontist also said he wont give me anesthetic when i go for gum treatment.
I have 2nd visit coming up this friday for gum treatment which is $240 and i will get back $144 from medibank. I also was told i have to come back for a 3rd visit which is gum treatment too and cost $240 and will get back $144 as well. Then have to see him after 3months for check up. So total out of pocket will be $350 for all 3 visits.
My question is my normal dentist does gum treatement and he is no gap dentist so there is no out of pocket for gum treatment or anything else so i would say heaps going with him after the baby being born.
What is the difference between a dentist doing gum treatment and a periodontist doing gum treatment?
Should i wait till after the baby is born and go for gum treatment with my no gap dentist or should i still go for my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th visit with periodontist????
Any advice or tips will help???
