I wouldn't worry too much about how unrepentant the op is about their ridiculous comments. They'll get what they deserve when they're next in the dentist chair, lets hope the dentist doesn't forget the anaesthetic.

It'd be deliciously ironic if OP was a jew and the dentist refused to gas him before treatment.

This is quite an amazing thread.

The OP has managed to post on the topic of dentistry in such a way that nearly everybody reading has sympathy for the dentist!!!

Well done my son - there's a job for you in the PR department of the British Dental Association!

I've got an NHS dentist, but I only pay for what's been done at the time.

I don't pay in advance for what's been booked for the future.

Usually, if it will involve a course of treatment, they just tell me to settle up at the end of it.

I must have a good dentist!

Would agreee though, that a money grabbing dentist practice can't really be compared to genocide lol:eek:

If the dentist refuses to provide a receipt for advanced payments, refuse to pay.

I would actually agree with that. If you pay anything anywhere surely you're entitled to a receipt?

How is it extortion. You're paying in advance for a service you are scheduled to receive, which you probably do for other things also. I think you need to have a quick look in a dictionary

The only thing they've done wrong is refuse a receipt.

Perhaps she refused out of spite? On account of being called a Nazi.

Be careful you don't overreact won't you?

For goodness sake - you should just have paid for the check up and said you would pay for the other treatment on the day. If that was not acceptable then you could have complained to the practice manager. If no joy then choose another dentist.

Mentioning the holocaust was just plain rude and distasteful and would not have helped your appeal one bit.

His point was people following orders without question, I find your fixation on it shameful as are the others who are trying to outdo your own daft comments.
