| - Backstory: 1/6/16 I went to Absolute Dental Blue Diamond to fix a broken filling. They took one X-ray of the filling and told me I needed a root canal or extraction and had 3 cavities on a side that they did not take X-rays on. They referred me to Absolute on Ann road so an Endodontist could look at the tooth. On 1/19/16 (almost 2 weeks later) I go to Ann Road for a 9:00 am appointment; I do not get called back until 9:35 and I was the only one there. Endo will not touch the tooth because it is the very last molar on the top and my mouth is too small so it will inconvenience him, he recommends going back to Blue Diamond to an Oral Surgeon to pull it, which they schedule for 1/25/16. However, if the Oral Surgeon decides I need to be put under, I will have to make a fourth appointment at a third location for general anesthesia. I spent nearly a month going back and forth with Absolute so I called someone else.

1/21/16 Came here for a second opinion and was taken back at 9:31, for a 9:30 appointment. I got full X-rays and photos of all my teeth, and was taken to a room. Within 2 minutes a doctor came in, looked at everything, including lymph nodes, bone density in the gums, and gave her opinion that a crown wouldn't hold due to lack of surface area since the cavity is under a filling. They also did a cleaning while I was there. Turns out I don't have any other cavities like Absolute claimed. The Hygienist was really nice and did not make my gums bleed. She also told me that she used to work at Absolute Ann and turns out the "Endo" is a regular dentist. Thanks Absolute, glad to know you really care. So, I scheduled my extraction with Rainsprings Oral Surgeon for the 29th and, under general anesthesia, it should be done in 20 minutes.
