Got the following email from a friend...any feedback? Thanks.
THE WORST DENTIST EVER!
The only reason that I needed to have my tooth replaced is because Dr. X understudy messed up the root canal that was done. I went in to have a root canal but was never told that his understudy would be doing it.
My tooth always felt loose and when I returned for a cleaning, a few years later, Dr. X fixed my bite. He even stated that "whoever did this root canal did not do it right." Eventually, my tooth had to be taken out which brought me to tears. I had a temporary crown until a permanent one was put in place. The permanent crown did not match my teeth at all and was, in no way, a replica of the opposite tooth. One year later, the permanent tooth became loose. I returned to Dr. X office to have it cemented in place again. When chewing a piece of gum, the tooth was pulled out. I had to go back to Dr. X office to have it replaced. Dr. X put a temporary crown in which came loose less than a week later. I went back to have it cemented in place. Dr. X said that he could not put the permanent tooth in because it was not ready. Dr. X put acrylic on my tooth and left. I bit down and felt like I was biting something. I told the hygienist who marked my teeth and brought Dr. X back in to file the acrylic down. After he filed, I said that I still felt something which he replied that there was nothing there. He then asked the hygienist to take another marking and after that, filed my tooth again. He asked if I could feel anything, which at the time, I couldn't. Now, I notice a gritty, sandpaper feeling on my tooth. I am very, very upset and feel like Dr. X should loose his license to practice dentistry as well as pay for another dentist to fix the problem in which he created!!!
