I almost ended up with a serious problem from a routine cavity filling. After filling my cavity I told Dr. Wu my left side was elevated and that I cannot bit down on all my teeth. He said it will take 24 hrs to get used to it. I specifically asked him if "this - the elevated filling - will go down." He said - "yes." I trusted him. (Note: he did not make me bite down on paper to see if my teeth locked properly.) 24 hours later I still couldn't bit down. My left side will bite down first and the teeth on my right side did not even touch! I called his office and with no medical authority the receptionist told me to give it 48 hrs and that I will get used it. Although polite, she was in no position to tell me to "get used to it.” Three days later my teeth started to feel strained/ irritated. Another dentist examined my cavity filling and the quote was - "it was a sloppy job." After only 10 minutes with my new dentist I was as good as new! If my elevated filling was unfixed, it would damage to the surrounding nerves and in about a month I would probably need a root canal!! Dr. Wu was a miss for me by a far shot. He is a nice guy, but what I need is a dentist that would listen to his patients.
