That’s frustrating but unfortunately, those records are the legal property of the dentist and therefore they may require a more formal request to release them directly to you verse going to another allied health professional.
That’s okay - we’ve thought of that too. Simply download this letter (Record Release Formal Request) and fill out your details and send that off.
This letter has been crafted by our team of lawyers to highlight your rights as a patient to have access to your health records and usually does the trick.
Beyond that, it’s probably best to just let it go and use AirSmile to find a new dentist. AirSmile dentists love being transparent and helpful to their patients so you won’t have this problem ever again.
