Hello
Almost 5 years ago I had terrible pain in my two lower front teeth ( i think is #24 & #25). i couldn'y even close my mouth without crying because of the pain. So I went to a dentist and he performed a root canal on each tooth. Within six months I started having pain in my gum and sensibility on my teeth, so I went back to see him. I believe that he did some xrays and he said that there was nothing that he could do for me, that I needed to see a specialist and that he will charge $1000+. I dont recall the amount on money that he said. I did have the money so I waited and I learned lo live with the pain. Last year I went to visit my family in my country and the pain started again. I went to the doctor and they did some xrays and they showed the poor root canal and the dentist back home did a new root canal on one of my teeth. Three weeks ago I started having pain in my lower gum below the tooth that was NOT fixed by my second doctor. Between finding doctors and changing my primary dentist with the insurance, a bump full of pus was created in my gum. I finally get to see the doctor today and he did some xrays and same story horrible root canal job on one of the teeth and a terrible infection that he said I might loose my two teeth. He reffered me to a periodontist and I have an appointment thursday morning. in the mean time I want to sue my previous doctor. Not only I have suffered tremendous amount of pain, but also I have spend money that I do not have. what do you think? Thanks for your time

I'm sorry you've had a bad dental experience.

I am also sorry but I cannot comment on the practices of other dentists. It is not the intent of this Q&A board to offer advise on whether or not you have a case against the actions of another dentist.

p.s. Although I understand your frustrations, you would not have wasted your time writing to me if you had read some of the previous Q&A's where I have stated several times that I cannot offer any legal advise.
