Today I saw a new dentist and I need a bunch of things done. I wouldn't care about any of them except that I have to have that crown and the filling no-gloves dentist put in re-done because they weren't done correctly and as they are I'm at risk for infection and a root canal. I've had some discomfort in there off and on but I thought it was just my tooth-grinding.

I want to fight the dentist who screwed up for my money back since I have to pay the full price for the one I'm getting in 2 weeks as my insurance only re-does crowns every 5 years, not every 6 months, but am not sure who to complain to. Hopefully I can figure it out and win.

At least I like the new dentist and the office. I just wish I wasn't going to be paying so much quite so soon.

Oh well.
I’m sorry this happened to you. I went to a new dentist yesterday who I was really pleased with. I found out similar things to you: my previous dentist had done a crown wrong and there is a gap above and a root canal he performed has a perforation. They referred me to an endodontist to see what the next steps are.

It’s good to know about writing a letter to the insurance company and the company itself. I hope you don’t find writing the letter too stressful and that you are victorious in getting your money back. I’m cheering you on!
