I want to start off by saying I never write reviews, but this was such a horrible experience.
I came in because I was having tooth pain. The DA's appear nice. But after one X-ray, they said with no hesitation that I needed a root canal. They said that I needed it done asap and that it costed almost 600 dollars. I told them that I didn't have the kind of money so they tried to set me up with a payment plan. It was very rushed and they didn't even give me time to think about it. I didn't qualify for the payment plan, so there was no way I could pay for it. The lady kept trying to make me feel guilty and kept saying how I needed this root canal in the most scary ways possible. And when I refused, she gave me the most rude 'goodbye' ever.
I went to a different dentist and she told me that I might not even need a root canal. She did actual tests instead of x-rays. She did a hot/cold test of the tooth, tapping of the tooth ect ect. She got rid of the decay and put a temporary restoration called 'IRM', and told me to leave it in for 3 weeks, and if the tooth didnt hurt anymore then I wouldn't need a root canal. She also said that my nerve wasn't exposed.
I ended up not needing a root canal at all, and I felt like this office was just after my money or a quick fix. This is the worst experience I've ever had in a dental office.
