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.
Depends who did the treatment and how well it was accomplished. Normally a fistula should not be present unless it was residual from the beginning of the treatment. I truly believe in the expertise of endodontists. I have had 3 root canals myself...all done by an endodontist. Was yours done by a specialist? If not talk to the treating dentist or ask for a referral to an endodontist. Hope this helps...you need to address the situation quickly.
