New to my area, went to the first Dentist I could find with 3rd from right lower tooth with huge old silver filling, the back of the tooth had chipped away, still have the front and sides. She removed all the old filling for a partial crown. I asked if I needed a root canal. She said the no, everything looked fine. Placed temp on. I paid 1500.00 up front for it all to be finished. After she put the temp on, I had severe pain waiting the 2 weeks for the permanent. Went yesterday for the perm. told her about the pain, She looks and says yes you do need a root canal, the nerve is exposed now. (Why didn't she see this before?) Then sent the receptionist in to tell me it would be 1200.00 more dollars. Told her I didn't have any more money, I gave them my last dime to fix this tooth. Dr. said the nerve had to come out, so removed it, but would not finish with the proper filling. She filled the canal with clove oil and put the permanent crown on saying that would buy me time to come up with the money for the proper finishing of the tooth. Is this orthodox treatment? I've never been to a dentist that would not finish the job, especially when I paid that much cash up front. And I think that's a ridiculus amount to pay to put the nerve canal filling in. I feel like a walking time bomb, don't know when this tooth will cause extreme pain again. Please advise. My email is dlhm25@yahoo.com thank you Debra Henderson
