Thanks for reading this, any opinion highly welcomed:
-
One of my molars cracked. I got a dentist appointment 3 weeks afterwards. I didn't have any pain in the mean time. The dentist (a very young one by the way)told me he needed to remove the molar, I asked for a crown and he told me they were expensive (what did he cared???) and as I didn't agree of having the tooth removed, he filled it and told me it would get infected, the molar was fine for almost a year.
-
One year later I went back to the practice and saw a more senior doctor who offered me a crown, sadly, by then I had to cover the full £300 cost of it as my baby was already 13m old. He ordered a dental cleaning (an extra £96) before ordering the crown.
-
After a week the tooth started hurting but just for three days, three weeks later the senior doctor applied a filling again to see how the thing evolved, it was fine for another three months, so I asked for the crown to be done.
-
Went back to the practice and got the younger doctor again who told me the molar was infected and he needed to remove it (I was not experiencing any pain by the way), he told me that it was impossible to put a crown on it and the only option was a bridge (£800) or an implant (£2000).
-I asked if antibiotics could kill the infection and he told me they wouldn't as the infection was not in the tooth (what?). I insisted in the antibiotics and once at home I realised he only prescribed half of the antibiotics box.
- I'm fuming . Is he trying to rip me off?
