In my previous blog, I told you about the 28 year old who went to a Corporate style dental center and was told that she had serious (spelled expensive) dental problems but had the good fortune of having a friend refer her to Root Canal Experts (RCE) before severe damage was inflicted on her.
Another of my patients, also referred from RCE was not quite so lucky. She had had 3 root canals and 3 canals done in Brooklyn and all three had failed and become re-infected. She was at a hair salon in Latham and met someone who had been treated by RCE and was very happy with the results.
Now some background information: This 34 year old was from the Caribbean and she had almost perfect teeth. Yes she had fallen and broke her front teeth but that is no big deal; 95% of the time, the endodontist performs a root canal and I place a very conservative bonded filling that will look great for years. Unfortunately, the dentist did 3 root canals and placed crowns on all three teeth. Fortunately, the two lower teeth could be saved by re-doing the root canals and replacing the crowns. Unfortunately, the upper front central incisor had to be extracted and an implant placed.
I cannot impress upon you the importance of finding fabulous physicians and dentists to take care of YOU. You are at severe risk of losing your life, your health, your teeth or your money.
This is a choice and there is something that YOU can do to keep yourself healthy and at the same time not break the bank.
