Going to the dentist is a very important part of a healthy life. Having good dental hygiene can also prevent a lot of other, more serious issues. However, what happens when the doctor doesn’t have your teeth’s best interests in mind? That’s exactly what this California man has experienced with this run-in with a scam artist dentist. The video was posted to the TikTok account @BigTopSandiego, and it shows his crazy encounter.
The video begins with the dentist coming directly at the California man as she asks him what he wants. The woman is clearly annoyed by the man filming her as she explains that a specific machine is not working. As she continues to yell at him about recording, the dentist gets into the man’s face and points her finger at him. The confrontation began after the man had paid around $4,500 to have his braces removed from his teeth. However, after the procedure, the office that has been confirmed as L.A. Dental would refuse to give the man his retainer. The retainer is a crucial post-braces item that keeps the teeth from shifting back and ruining the process made by the braces.
California Man Calls Out Scamming Dental Office
After more arguing, the man recording then accuses the dentist of “scamming” him. This stems from the fact that the man had already paid for all of the necessary expenses to have his braces removed and a retainer made. The video’s comment section was also upset regarding the situation. “Shame on this place,” wrote one angry user. Although that is not where this story ends. Despite the man not getting the necessary equipment from L.A. Dental, another company has stepped in to help the man out.
In a follow-up TikTok, the California man was able to get everything he needed after L.A. Dental Clinic reached out. In the footage, the new dentist explains that she found the man online and knew she could help. The video then cuts to the man himself standing in front of the clinic’s front desk. He gives them a quick shoutout and thanks them for their help, as he goes on his way.
Luckily for this California man, L.A. Dental Clinic was able to hook him up big time. After resolving this issue, they most likely have a customer for life in the TikToker. As for the L.A. Dental scam, unfortunately, it seems like a common issue almost everywhere in the US. However, this story has a happy ending as the man got what he needed to keep his new smile intact!
