A month ago I go to dentist and he tells me he needs to reconstruct my
tooth because it has a big cavity.  This is like root canal and crown
and I think it was near two grand.  So I agree, but he gets into it and
says,"this thing is too far gone so I gotta pull it."

I go back yesterday for a filling and he gives me same story on another
tooth.  Root canal, post, crown $2268.

Now both of these teeth were in the back just forward of the wisdom
teeth - which I still have them all.  I want to give this guy the
benefit of the doubt, but shouldn't this practice be on top of this
stuff?  Shouldn't there have been some sign of the tooth decay months
ago.  I hate to think these people are delaying treatment just to make
more money off of me.  The only other thing I can beleive is they are
just incompetant.  I would think a thorough exam, or some Xrays could
have prevented this difficult situation.

So here I am thinking to get a second opinion, and maybe a new dentist
as well.  This practice does seem to have a large turnover in staff.
What do you think?
