My son was refferred to Dr. Berlocher by his regular dentist to receive 1 silver cap. He had to have dental day surgery for his cap. We went for a visit with Dr. Berlocher about 3 weeks before the surgery. Dr. Berlocher said all he needed was one or two caps and dental sealants on his molars. He said he would do x rays while he was asleep at the hospital. When my son came out of surgery, Dr. Berlocher had informed me that according to his new, in depth x rays, he had several tiny cavities, therefore, he placed SEVEN caps on his teeth WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. I asked him why so many and he replied that it was better to do it all at once instead of come back later. I asked why he couldn't do fillings and he did not resond. I called my regular dentist to ask her what to do. She said there were no problems like that on his original x rays and that I should report him to medicaid. She also stated that she was very sorry and that her office would pull his cards and never refer Dr. Berlocher to any of her patients again. Now, my child is stuck with the "metal mouth syndrome". He alreay had enough issues to deal with at school. Now he has to deal with kids possibly making fun of him and he won't understand why. As well as the adults, thinking I don't take care of my child's teeth!!
