Paula Bee Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I am not sure why they do a dental check-up on their patients. Not that I don't appreciate it, but what is the purpose? Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindyterry Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi Paula; The dentist (can't remember her name) told me that you have to have "good" teeth and strong back molars to have the surgery because you will have to be able to chew your food 30 times in order for it to go down properly. Good luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowbird Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 It has nothing to do with the lap band. It is just a freebie OCC offers because they now have a dentist office in their clinic. Dental care is cheaper in Mexico, so a lot of US residents go down to Tijuana and other Mexican cities for dental care. I have had a crown done in the OCC dental office, and my husband has had 4 implants done there, much cheaper than in the US. It has no bearing on your lap band surgery whatsoever.

Paula Bee Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Cool! I have top braces now, so nothing can be done about that. I also have all 4 wisdom teeth, much to the amazement of my dentist and many of my friends. I have GREAT chewing surfaces.. lol Was just curious.. thank you for your responses Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
