Case Description
My mouth needs immediate help with re-treating root canals that hurt constantly. I pay for personal insurance but was told it won't cover re-treats. I was quoted over $1800 just to retreat two of the most painful. That's not including the crowns. It's overwhelming when you consider that's just to fix the most pressing of problems. There's also a large "hole" between my teeth where I had two crowns put in. Food gets trapped in it and it feels unhealthy. Is there anybody out there in the dental profession that can help me fix my mouth and be affordable? I was originally told $6000 to fix the whole mouth including 2 bridges, but that has changed with time. I'm so frustrated and wonder what I can do to fix my very painful mouth. Your input is most appreciated. Is there a dental school that can help? Thank you.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
