LIAR! LIAR I SAY!

So this afternoon I had a patient come in that had called last week when I was CA. He was in the older 20's and said he doesn't remember the last time he had a cleaning, aka he never has had one. So since he hasn't had any dental stuff done in such a long time I told him that we really needed to do a full mouth series of xrays which he opposed to when I told him the cost, which was fine so I said ok then we can do 4 BWX and a pano. Of course to no surprise he was ok with the BWX but not the pano, " it was cutting into his lunch money"... (my eyes rolled)... so we went on with what we had. I got him back and started his OD and asked about his home care.. typical answer, " I brush 2x's a day and floss 1 time a day." this is where I seriously about bust out laughing. all said and done, BFI 0% and PFI 0%! I think the number speak for themselves. I was only able to get one quad done but he was a class II.
