Case Description
Was told i needed a root canal done in 04. was not taken care of untill 06 at some hole in the wall dentist who must have done a crappy job. A good chunk of the tooth CRUMBLED off into my mouth while eating popcorn a year after getting the root canal. By then was already off my dads insurance and have not gotten it checked since then. Theres very little next to none pain, however is still very bothersome due to the sharp ends it has left of the tooth. As well as the constant picking and cleaning due to the nooks and crannies that get food wedged into them. A good 50 to 70% of the tooth is gone up to the gum line.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
