Botched Filling Provoked a Root Canal
Went to repair a damaged filling, which should have been a routine job. The new filling was way too high and I kept biting on it and developed pain. The Summerfield dentist told me it was normal and would "settle" after one or two weeks. I did not. Actually, my pain got worse and the pressure on the filling started cracking the tooth. I went to another dentist who was shocked to see the result and sent me for a root canal. Problem solved but weeks of pain and a very expensive root canal.
