I recently had a small cavity filled and a few hours later, I began experiencing pain. The dentist said it was normal and that it should go away in a few days. A week later, I return to the dentist, still in pain, and she proceeds to "file down" the filling for a better bite. She stated it was causing my bite to be uneven and that the pain should go away in a couple of days. Well, 4 days later, I'm at the Emergency room because it's a weekend to get relief from ever increasing pain. On Monday, I go back in to the dentist and she replaces the whole filling. When the novacane wears off, I'm in the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. I go back, and a root canal is performed. They charge me almost $1000.00 for the procedure. Am I responsible for this or should the dentist pay? I simply went in for a small filling ($150 which I paid for) and now I'm looking at a bill for almost a grand.....what do i do???
