Should I Pay ??? |
Issue I recently had a small cavity filled and a few hours later, I began experiencing pain. The dentist said it was normal and that it should go away in a few days. A week later, I return to the dentist, still in pain, and she proceeds to "file down" the filling for a better bite. She stated it was causing my bite to be uneven and that the pain should go away in a couple of days. Well, 4 days later, I'm at the Emergency room because it's a weekend to get relief from ever increasing pain. On Monday, I go back in to the dentist and she replaces the whole filling. When the novacane wears off, I'm in the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. I go back, and a root canal is performed. They charge me almost $1000.00 for the procedure. Am I responsible for this or should the dentist pay? I simply went in for a small filling ($150 which I paid for) and now I'm looking at a bill for almost a grand.....what do i do??? Best Tip It seems that the tooth was worse than your dentist thought. You can ask her to forgo the cavity charge, but if you needed a root canal, then that is what you needed. Source(s): Of course you should pay Others Afraid so...give 'em 5 bucks a month I would talk to the Dentist and explain to her how you feel about her charging for the root canal. Maybe she will credit you for the first visit. The dentist did what was necesary. You should go ahead and pay for what he had to do to your tooth. If you had any doubts about the treatment, you should have voiced them with the dentist. thats why mom's always say brush your teeth!! Please add details. HOw old are you and which tooth was it? |
