Can A Dental Hygienist Refuse To Treat Patients With HIV?

Wednesday, May 15th, 2013
Q.

Hi there, I was wondering if you could please help me with something? Can a DENTAL HYGIENIST refuse to treat a patient with HIV in uk?
I know a dentist cannot refuse treatment but how does it work with a Hygienist?

I have seen a dentist who has referred me to a hygienist (it was after seeing dentist) I was then asked to fill in medical form whilst seeing the dentist I wasn’t asked about any medical issues. I was only asked about any allergies. Should i say something to my hygienist? I just don’t know how it works and I would like to be 100% certain everything is okay. I feel like because nothing like that was ask that it’s fine? Surely they’ll have my condition on record after being referred from the dentist maybe? If you can provide me with some advise that would be great! Thank you in advance, regards.

Am I likely to receive benefits for dental veneers?

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012
Q.

Hi, ever since i can remember my teeth have been weak but since i had my children they have got incredibly worse, i have got to have an operation soon to have 7 of my back teeth removed and i am terrified of everything about it! especially the aftercare of my remaining teeth. I am only 22 and i feel discusting, I never smile and since suffering and constantly worrying about my appearance I have lost my confidence. I never thought my teeth could take over my life like they have, I just want to be able to concerntrate on being there for my kids. I am on benefits but don’t want to come across as a scrounge, I just want to know if i’ll be entitled to veneers or something similar if I asked my dentist.
