I had no problems with my mouth at all. They recommended, and insurance had approved, putting a crown on my last molar. This way if it cracked down the road I wouldn't have to have a root canal. During the procedure, she found the next tooth had a crack and asked if I wanted that drilled out and a new filling put in. I said yes, I am already numb. Well, while waiting for my crown I had pain in my tooth with the filling. I went in and they said I needed a root canal. Numbed me up a 2nd time (week 2) and the doctor couldn't decide which tooth needed the root canal! Instead he filed off the filling they just put in incase that was where I got the pain from. Well, it changed my whole bite! Not to mention did nothing for the pain. Went back the next week (Week 3) to Dr. Yazdi to complain about the pain with my bite change. She said she would make me a mouth guard! I didn't need a mouth guard 3 wks ago. She numbed me up again to put in my crown and said she would make an appointment for the Endodontistt to find out which tooth needed the root canal. Then I told her my bite was still bad and she filed down more teeth. Well now it is worse. I decided I was not going back there. Instead of it getting better each time it was worse.
I decided to go back to my childhood dentist in Bloomingdale. When I told him of my awful experience his response was. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"! He said dentists now don't work that way. I I had NO pain and no problems in my mouth before all this. He sent me to an Endodontist (in Bloomingdale) On 12/21/13 (Week 4) I had the root canal. It has been 2 1/2 months and I still have pain in my jaw and can't bite on my right side. Not to mention my bite is still off. My old dentist adjusted it a little but said you should go very slow with adjustments. My ligament is damaged because of injections 4 weeks in a row. It can take up to 18 mos. to heal. If it doesn't, I have to have the tooth removed! They didn't care about me, just the insurance money.
