Dentist Sends A School Boy Home Crying And His Mom Was Furious To See What Had Happened

Reaching Out

When Shanda took to the media to speak about her son’s experience, you would think about she would get to have a clear explanation. But the school and the district made a decision to refuse to have a comment or a response about the situation. They claimed to have a fear of breaching privacy and health insurance laws so they did not speak up.

Well Deserved

If you had been put in a situation such as this, how would your reaction be? Would you want to have an explanation like Shanda? If your kids had gone through a serious medical procedure like Michael, how would you feel? Do you think the mother deserved an explanation? After the school did not handle the situation nicely, the mother should have gotten some answers, right?

Signed, Sealed And Delivered

When the school district was questioned, they maintained that Shanda had already signed and returned the permission slip for her son’s dental work in school. But on the other hand, Shanda claims that she signed the slip solely because she agreed to routine teeth cleaning. She was not at all expecting that her son’s teeth would be pulled out.

Dentist Appointment

So the school did not believe that they did anything wrong, claiming that all they did was perform a procedure that would benefit Michael’s dental health. As a matter of fact, Michael already had a dental appointment scheduled the following week. He was supposed to have a meeting with the family dentist where his mother could have been there to accept or decline procedures.

Healing Slowly

Even though Michael’s mouth had slowly started healing, the fear remains in him. It was indeed a traumatizing and tiring day for the young school kid who did not expect any of that to happen. To have 3 of his teeth plucked out in one go was excruciating and terrorizing. He went in expecting a mere dental cleanse but got so much more.

Well Wishes

We hope that no parent has to go through what Shanda went through. A kid must always have a parent beside them to make sure that they do not feel scared or alone. Michael was scarred for life but we sincerely hope that with time he gets better. We hope he does not keep the fear of dentists in him, that his teeth grow perfectly and healthily, that his experience was worth it…
