Looking for feedback on this scenario?
Went for my first ever root canal today, after 1.5hrs, "the dentist says, we will take xrays, all going well, we will be done in 40mins, I will close up, and you won't have to come back next week"
Xray shows, "oops I perforated your other tooth" Your options are;
1) "'I can try to fix it, it may or may not work. Depends on your bodys' reaction"
2) "I can get you into a specialist, that will fix it proper,he has the right equipment,but your insurance won't cover it, it will be approx $1000-1200 to fix up front."
Now, I don't think for a second that I should pay for this! I work for the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, and I have an great dental plan.
I went for option one, basically because I couldn't scream at her, as my mouth was wired open!
She finishes up,say's we "need one more xray for our records, you don;t have to wait around, and can leave, if theres any problems, it will show up in 2-3 days, if not come back in 6 months fro a re-evaluation"
By the time her assistant was finished, she had left(lunch time), and I couldn't vent at her! Demanded she call me asap about this possible specialist bill. Haven't heard from her!
Anyone got any suggestions, opinions about this.
Me thinks I should not have to pay a nickel, to have this corrected!!!!
8 advil and 3 rum and cokes later, I am still in pain!
