I felt hurried into all the dental procedures in his office - I am wiser now.
I had a root canal done by Dr. LaCivita in 2002/2003, which was not of a good quality according to other doctors I went to after him ( Dr Sheng Mu Clairmont, Dr Summerhayes-Miramesa, Dr Alphonso-Miramesa ). One of the doctors also suggested I try to get the money back from Dr LaCivita for his poor work- it cost me around $300 out of pocket - dont remember exact figure now.
I get severe tooth ache every 6-9 months in exactly the same spot -under his root canal work and every time I go to a different doctor - to get diverse opinion on cause and treatment.
The cause: root canal procedure was not complete - it left 2 mm of soft tissue under the tooth.
Treatment recommended: I need a side-ways surgery to correct it.
I am leaning towards footing the bill for another expensive procedure...
out of 5 stars
