Hi Jo*mar,

Both dentists that Dawnrainbow saw do seem to be lacking in compassion and chair side manner. She's been made to feel like her pain doesn't matter, which is just not cool.

It is typical for a dentist to do a filling on a tooth and within a short amount of time suggest a root canal and crown to be done on that same tooth. The filling may have been a patch up to buy some time to see if the tooth would calm down, or perhaps the patient wanted just the filling for financial reasons. One can argue the ethics of doing a filling on a tooth that required more but there are many circumstances as to why this is commonly done. Some dentists will reimburse or put a credit the patients account for the filling after the root canal or extraction..... others feel they did the initial work and want to be paid for their time. Ethics again I suppose.
