Need to vent once again. I had called to make an appointment with our regular dentist for M. I explained our situation, for insurance purposes and so the visit could be handled gently and sensitively. I specifically said I did not want to have to explain it (foster situation, lack of previous dental care) in front of M, and was assured the dentist would be informed and would be discreet.

On the form they had me fill out, which he had in his hand (and looked at), it said twice that she is our foster child. At the start of the exam he asked me, "so she is a foster child?". Although I was surprised, I didn't think too much or say anything at the time. They handled the rest of the visit fairly well. But now it is really bothering me. I am wondering if I should call and point out that they did exactly what I asked them not to do? Hopefully they could then be more tactful in any future situations with us or other people. Am I just being overly sensitive? Some of you may have seen my other thread on that topic....

Thanks!
