II did teeth cleaning twice a year regularly and had been aware that the Doctor always suggested small fillings here and there. I usually ignored it since I don’t have any problems with my teeth. In the last cleaning, I was again suggested to do two small fillings. I thought why not, as the insurance pays. The doctor did the drilling/cleaning and her assistant did filling. They were chit-chatting all the time when working on my teeth. After filling, I immediately felt pain in my right tooth and couldn’t eat, which never happened before. The pain remains and I went back in a few weeks, took X-ray and was told they need to re-do the filling. Ok, re-did it and again chit-chatting like high school girls during the process. The refilling didn’t work and the pain is getting worse. Went back again. This time, after X-ray and some additional images, I was shown large cracks in the middle of my tooth. Now she told me I need to get a temporary crown, then crown, and then possible root canal if the crown won’t work. They then threw me a statement of more $600 for the first crown process. They called in the next day to push for a crown schedule. My wife picked the phone and asked how all this happened. They responded that the cavity was big and they told me beforehand the possibility of tooth fracture after filling. This is totally BS! The truth is that they told me the fillings are so minor and we didn’t even use a numb shot when doing the first time filling.
