Dentist and HELL?


I went to see a Dentist with the reason to replace a broken porcelain on my bridge. I was covered by 2 dental insurances. I ended up with 3 unnecessary root canal treatments and $5000 in bill. I understand that the Dentist needs to maintain her life stail, but it is my health she was playing with? I am a naive stupid to allowed it to happen, but where can i complain at least?
People, do not ewer trust the Dentist! Do your own research before the visit and keep all your medical records in your house for your references.

How do you know that the root canals were unnecessary? Perhaps you had decay in the abutment teeth of the bridge. And even if you had 2 dental insurances, they both still had maximums per year and if you needed 3 root canals and a new bridge, I'm sure you ran out of coverage for the year, so the left over balance is not surprising in the least.

Not all dentists are as bad as yours.

Our dentist has been wonderful and never does any unnecessary treatment. In fact when our 7 year old daughter had a bike accident on July 4, he treated her and didn't charge us.

You can file a small claims lawsuit. Get a statement from another dentist that the treatment ws unneccessary. However, its possible you did need the treatment, and you're just not happy to have to pay for it.

SUE THEM if your really pissed off.

I agree please if you feel strongly about spending money on necessary things such as your health, do some research and understand the procedure being done. Also educate your self about your coverage too.
