Re: Seeking advice on dental situation.


Unfortunately it does happen and the
dentist has no control or little control of why.

Sorry ....

My wife recently started going to my dentist. In general, she has
perfect
teeth, but an old filling in a molar was bugging her - slightly.

The dentist recommended replacing the filling with an inlay, which he
did at
a cost of ~$400.

Within a day, it was obvious that the inlay was too "high", and my wife
went
back two more times for adjustment. The first return visit, the
opposing
tooth was ground down to make room, and the next visit, the inlay was
ground
ground down.

After each visit, her tooth has hurt more. Now, a month later, it's
excruciating, and the dentist says that she may need a root canal.

1) Is it normal for a filling replacement to escalate like this?

2) Should she be expected to bear all of the costs?
