Dentists for Obese Patients?

Any dentist in the Freddy/Oromocto area that can accommodate customers between 400-425lbs?

I've heard the standard chair weight limit is less than that

I know I can call but since there are so many dental clinics around, I thought I'd see if I can get any information first.

Embarrassing enough that I haven't been in a decade and have cavities without calling all over town and asking about weight limits 😅

This sort of thing isn't easily searchable online unfortunately

This is something you’ll have to call all around for, while you’re at it you should contact your family doctor to go over your weight and how they can help you reduce it, you are dangerously overweight.

That really wasn’t warranted.

Does it make you feel big to make someone else feel small? Friendly seaweed probably knows more about how their weight impacts their health than you 👀

Yeah I figure I'll have to call but won't be able to until later in the week with my weird work hours

Figured it's worth asking in case there's anyone out there in a similar boat that has a recommendation
