Bloody Dentist

I am so so angry. Remember I had to operate my wisdom tooth out earlier this year? The reason why I did that was because Dr T, my now ex-dentist, took an xray and said the tooth in front of it had a cavity due to the wisdom tooth impacting it. He rushed me and made me pull out the wisdom tooth which I did with a specialist.

At the specialist, the Dr took a full dental xray and discovered the second molar in front of my wisdom tooth showed an internal cavity which needed immediate attention.

So I went back to Dr T who did my root canal. At my last appointment, Dr T told me to come back so that he can patch up the 1st tooth.

Since his services were exorbitant, I was recommended by my colleague to try another dentist just near my office. So this morning I went to pay him a visit to patch up that tooth.

What I discovered:
1. There is no cavity on that tooth. Meaning, I never needed to rush pulling out my wisdom tooth in the first place.
2. The root canal was done quite badly as he didn't reach right to the bottom of my roots. This new dentist (I don't even know his name) was very frank but he feebly tried to cover up for Dr T by saying it is a difficult case and he probably did his best. I retorted his best would have been to recommend me to a specialist to get it properly done instead of charging me as much as pulling out my wisdom tooth for a botched up job!

So now I am to go to another specialist, an Endodermist or whatever... to redo the root canal. And you know specialists fees are like what... Blast that Dr T!
