Edit: Final Bill- 818 Dollars…read more I initially made an emergency appointment for Centre Dental Care on January 7th, 2025. I had severe to debilitating pain in a lower right molar and a cut in my gums that had begun a couple of days prior. They were able to book me quickly, which I appreciated. They took x-rays and did an enamel density test and determined that I had a cavity in the molar and that the cut in my gums was unrelated. I was numbed, the cavity was drilled out and filled and I was pleased. I paid my 250 dollars after my in-network insurance and went on my merry way. After the numbing agent had worn off, I was again in severe pain, so I emailed them to let them know that I was experiencing no change in my pain. They informed me that this was normal because the cavities were "very deep". Their advice was to take more ibuprofen and contact them on January 13th. I accepted this at face value because I am not a dentist and resigned myself to living with the pain for another five days. After all, I have already reached out about my pain, so I do not see another option. On January 9th I made further complaints to friends and family about how I was feeling. Eventually I had to agree to call around to other offices. I was advised by several people including more than one other dental office that asking me to wait until Monday for a follow-up with the pain I was experiencing was extremely abnormal, unacceptable and potentially unethical. I made another appointment with a different Centre County dentist, and they immediately identified that the "cut" in my gums was a draining abscess. To be sure of a diagnosis they completed several tests that Centre Dental Care and Dr. Carnicella did not bother to do such as a Tooth Tap Test, a Thermal Test, and finally a gutta-percha point insertion. The diagnosis after these tests was- infection, abscess, and a significant crack in the molar. I was given a prescription for amoxicillin and advised to take NSAIDs. My bill for this was 122 dollars despite being an out of network office for my insurance (less than half of what Centre Dental care charged me for an improper diagnosis). After having a thorough discussion of my options with my new dentist, I opted to extract and after the extraction I am virtually pain-free with the use of NSAIDs. On January 13th, Dr. Carnicella's office reached out to me to "see how you are feeling" and to ask why they had received a transfer request. I told them honestly what I wrote about above- that I was told my pain was normal, they did not go through the reasonable diagnostic steps, and that I paid 250 dollars for fillings on a tooth I no longer have in my mouth when a different dentist diagnosed me correctly for less than half the money. Their response to this email is essentially the reason that I'm writing this letter now, because I find it utterly unbelievable. They claimed that I did not have evidence of an abscess when I was a patient there. They claimed that I should have followed up an additional time about my pain despite myself already doing that. Finally, they claimed that they "do not overtreat" when the issue is clearly an issue of diagnosis, not treatment. I asked them if they were claiming that my molar became cracked and infected in the 24 hours between my appointment with them and my appointment with another dentist and was told that "something can worsen in an hour, let alone 24 hours", and was again told that I should have reached out when the ibuprofen wasn't working. I then asked if the draining abscess that was flooding bacteria from the inside of my gums was simply a coincidence, and was told that "it's not a coincidence, it simply wasn't visible during your visit". They then attached a photograph of the outside of my gums despite the abscess being on the inside of my gums and claimed that no dental professional could diagnose an abscess with this information. I replied that I wasn't sure if they were being dishonest or simply don't have a memory for their patient care because the hole in my gums was clearly present and discussed minutes into my initial appointment. The photograph being from the wrong side of my gums is simply incompetence or morbid humor at this point. In summary, while Centre Dental care did perform a couple of diagnostic tests, they failed to perform several basic and standard tests for the condition I was in and symptoms I was displaying. They are either being dishonest about my appointment with them, are careless about patient care, or are simply very poor at standard diagnostic techniques. The fact that they tried to shift blame onto their patient after the fact instead of owning up to their mistake is frankly shocking and is the reason for this letter. I strongly recommend anyone reading this to try a different dental office. My experience at this office shows that they are expensive, irresponsible, likely incompetent, and are additionally at least one of dishonest and uncaring.

The problem was when I asked the sales clerk(dark-haired lady)in the front about hours, she said they were closed until 2. I said ok and started going to my car to wait. Then I heard her say under her breath, "Just like every day." I said," Excuse me? " Then she started backtracking like she wasn't being bitchy. On top of that, when I was in line getting the prescription, I could hear her reprimand the pharmacy staff about hanging up coats instead of leaving them on a table. Fair enough, but as a customer, I shouldn't hear her scolding the staff. Maybe she was having an off day, maybe that's every day... I don't know because I don't usually use that store. The moral of the story is that if you go to CVS in Bellefonte, don't ask the dark-haired lady up front questions. You'll get an attitude back.
