Took my autistic son to Dr. Spink for extraction. I had a replacement tooth from our dentist ready to go into the space that would be left afterwards.
When my son asked to have the tooth after the extraction, he was told no because it is against OSHA regulations. My son overwhelmed by the news left the room.
I convinced him that it would be ok to take a photo of the tooth instead and he agreed to have the tooth temoved. The office refused to pull the tooth and later said they were medically savvy with autistic patients.
These people are not even medically savvy with federal and state regulations that say, according to OSHA and CDC, a patient can have their extracted tooth to bring home.
Now we have to search quickly for a dental surgeon who will do what this dentist should have done. I would be totally wary of such incompetence and ignorance and find anotheroffice if I were you.
This turned out to be an extremely aggravating and unnecessary occurance.
Maybe, based on pevious reviews too, we are fortunate that this Dr. Spink will come no where near my son's tooth.
