If I could choose NO stars I would. My main dentist had referred me to an root canal specialist, but they were not in my network and I was going to have to pay 1300 upfront. So when I found out this office was in network I decided to use him.....BAD IDEA
So I have never had a root canal before, I did not know what to expect and I was very anxious. My nerves were not put to rest when I met the staff. The lady who did my xray kept putting the bite plate in backwards, not once, not twice but 3 times! The doctor was inappropriate telling me he was better looking than another doctor in town and asking me if a certain celebrity on the TV was wearing a bra..... bizarre.
So I had the root canal done. I was told it would be sore and to take Motrin and it would help. So I left, went home took motrin and went to sleep. That night I woke up with moderate pain in my tooth. I took more motrin. The next day my tooth was throbbing. Anytime it was touched by anything even the tooth directly above it, I had SHOOTING pain down into my jaw. I tolerated the pain on motrin every 6 hours for 2 days. I then called the office and explained my pain to them and I was advised to come in. I leave work and go into the office. The tech set me up for an xray when the doctor walked in and said he didn't need an xray. He then proceeded to lecture me about how he told me there would be pain. I informed him that I was aware of the pain, however it was significant and did not seem right that an essentially dead tooth hurt more post procedure than pre.
He then WITHOUT ANY Lidocaine or numbing medication at all DRILLED MY VERY SENSATIVE TOOTH practically down nothing while I was writhing in pain, and screaming and holding onto the chair. I have now had to see my dentist to help with the pain and have the tooth assessed and fixed.
