Dr. Frank Huang, DDS

The dentist committed heath code violations during my teeth cleaning. Dr. Huang dropped an instrument on the ground, used his gloves to pick it up, did NOT change his gloves, removed the plastic packaging from the instrument (thus contaminating it), and put the instrument in my mouth. His gloves had became contaminated when he touched the ground to pick up the instrument. He used the contaminated instrument in my mouth, and he used the contaminated gloves to hold my mouth open and touch my teeth and gums.



I immediately complained, but Dr. Huang brushed off my concerns. He said that because the instrument had been wrapped in plastic, I shouldn't worry. However, he ignored the fact that because contaminated gloves were used to remove the plastic packaging and handle the instrument, the instrument was no longer sterile.



Also, my mouth was bleeding (bleeding gums due to the cleaning), and he gave the germs on a the floor a direct route to enter my bloodstream.



It only takes a few seconds to change gloves and grab another clean instrument, but he refused to do that. The dentist chose to take shortcuts. Shortcuts have no place in dentistry.



Furthermore, the wait times can get long; I had to wait almost an hour before the dentist came in.
