Your small private dental practice, which is within an urban city, has many long-standing patients. A number of patients within the practice are on public assistance and struggle with money issues. Dr. Gordon is very generous and understanding about her patients’ limitations and often provides free dental services. Your next patient of the morning is jason S, a 14 year old junior high school soccer player. His mother has made an emergency appointment, as he was hit in the mouth during a soccer game yesterday. His mother is concerned that jason’s front teeth may be loose as a result. His mother reports that jason has a thorough “cleaning” in another dental office 4 months ago. Clinical examination reveals no trauma but some mobility, so you take radiographs. Clinically, jason presents with no obvious signs or symptoms of disease, with lack of tissue inflammation and minimal amounts of plaque biofilm. Jason’s radiograph, however, shows moderate vertical bone loss around the maxillary central incisors and mandibular central incisors. Bitewing radiographs also indicate moderate bone loss around the maxillary and mandibular first molars. Probe readings on his incisors and molars are in the 4 to 6 mm range. You present your finding to Dr. Gordon, who asks you to perform thorough periodontal instrumentation on jason. You remind Dr. Gordon, that jason had a dental hygiene appointment in another office 4 months ago and that his insurance only allows for periodontal instrumentation every 6 months. Dr. Gordon states that jason is in dire need of this treatment and ask you in instruct the office manager to hold off on submitting jason insurance claim until it is within the 6 months time frame.

  1. How would you classify jason’s periodontal condition?

  2. What ethical principles are in conflict in this dilemma?

  3. What is the best way for you to handle this ethical dilemma?

  4. What should you do when treating future patients?

Assignment Details


Migration, Immigration, and Power


The movement of people around the world is as old as time, and the United States has experienced this phenomenon for hundreds of years. You will explore and trace the ways in which people have moved to and within the United States and how these movements have affected the social identity, industry, environment, and community development of the United States. Read more about the movement of people west and the impact of Manifest Destiny.


For the Discussion Board this week, consider the impact that migration and immigration have had on American ideas, beliefs, and values starting with the Native American tribes during westward expansion to the current immigration and naturalization difficulties. Compare how the U.S. government’s role and policies influenced immigration and migration during late 1800s to today.


For your Discussion Board post answer the following questions: 


How did the spirit of Manifest Destiny and federal policies guide the outcome of Native American tribes on the Great Plains and west of the Great Plains? 


How do you think immigration policies today facilitate immigration to the United States?
