One dentist said my tooth #12 needed a root canal, but their, theretofore respected as personable and trustworthy, ""diagnostic"" dentist, Dr. Freidman, said he wasn't so sure. Well, just because I then obtained a second, outside opinion, i.e., from another office's endodontist, I was abruptly notified that I had been dropped by Royceman (Dental Plus) as an insured member of Dental Plus! (Only emergencies would be handled for the next 30 days). Then, while still in the trying process of finding another, Pacific Union Dental insurance-covered dentist, that tooth literally just 'crumpled away' one bad day & was obviously a total loss!!\r
Maybe Royceman was 100% diagnostically right, or maybe it just needed, say, a crown, but because he wouldn't countenance a second opinion, I lost that tooth!
