The NIHR immediately contacted the concerned officials in the Center to look into the matter. It found out that the inmate was taken to the dental clinic in the Center’s infirmary on the same day, as he requested placing dental crowns over his teeth in addition to cleaning them. The inmate was referred to the teethcleaning specialist, and then the dental crown was placed. Afterwards, he was referred to the general physician as he claimed having stomach pain and was given the necessary treatment. The specialist doctor examined the inmate to consider changing the meals provided to him as required by his health condition upon the inmate’s request. 6.
