I have concerns about my new Dentist. I'm his first Oral Cancer patient. Both of my bottom molars were pulled 40 years ago when I was pregnant. Just before being diagnosed with cancer one bottom tooth next to where the Molar is (was located) was pulled it was an infected crown. My Dentist wants me to have an implant. I told him no way is anything going in my mouth that doesn't belong there after what I've been through. He pressures me every time I see him. He told me this will happen to your teeth and that will happen to your teeth if you don't have this done. I'm 64 years I'm not some youngin.

What runs through my head is if he starts messing with my mouth, puts an implant in and cancer is laying dormant it might trigger it.

I've nicely said no and no and no what else can I say to him to make him stop talking about an implant? He's my families Dentist they all like him and I do too until he started with the implant.

Last week I told him I'm going for my checkup at Moffitt in August I'll ask my Dr. just to get him off my back. One more thing he said to me is money an issue is that why you don't want this, no money isn't an issue, I'm not comfortable having this done. It set me back when he asked is money an issue no Dr or Dentist ever asked me that question.

Any advice?

Thank you.
