I had been a patient at Dr. Rothchild's office for 8 years with no problems. A few years ago Dr. Boehm started practicing at the same office. Over a period of a year and a half he replaced about 6 or 7 old fillings, telling me they were detiorarating and the mercury is bad for me. I've never hesistated to follow a doctor's recommendations, so I went forward with it. This began a nightmare for me that I'm still going through. Teeth that had never bothered me before suddenly started hurting. One in particular, in which the filling was replaced by a procelain overlay, constantly ached after the procedure and I had to get a root canal. I may have to get more root canals.
I believe that Dr. Boehm drilled too close to the nerve on some of my teeth. The dentist I've seen since has commented on how deep some of the fillings are. If nothing else he should have warned me of the risks. I have no history unusual pain/problems before this.
I will say that Dr. Boehm was always willing to see me, free of charge, to examine me and make bite adjustments to see if it helps. But I feel I have to give a negative rating, because if I can help someone avoid the pain and expenses I've been going through, then maybe it is worth something.
out of 5 stars
