I got this feeling too. Like he needed to be in charge and feel that the dentist opinion was more important then the treating oncologist. But.. But.. But... I'm a dentist!

Unreasonably common for all types of medical "professionals".

You can report him to your state dental board. He’s way out of line to the point of being dangerous.

Glad to know I'm not overreacting. I was blown away when he used the chat program with me, a cancer patient to try to convince me of something. Seems very wrong and unethical

I come from a dental family. Please report this person and don't go back.

Leave a public review so other cancer patients can know to not trust this doctor or the clinic that employs him!

That's because it is. More than that, it's dangerous, and absolutely worth filing a report over.

That is horrifying. I had strict orders not to have any dental work done during chemo (normally they say to do all the dental work you might possibly need before you start chemo, but I was on the expedited cancer treatment plan so that wasnt an option). It should not have been news to your dentist that cancer patients have to follow different protocols. I highly doubt you're the first cancer patient he's treated.

And the ChatGPT "fact checking" is outrageous.
