Very disappointed . Dr. Little is a soft spoken man. I have been going to him for a few years. Cleanings and exams as expected and no problems.
Then, I started having issues with the left side if my mouth. Dr. Little suggested crowns. My insurance allowance had already been used so, I scheduled my appointment for after the first of the year.
I called ahead of time to find out how much I needed to pay out of pocket and was given the price. When I arrived for my appointment they informed me it would be an extra 100.00 on top of the almost 600.00 out of pocket that I came prepared to pay.
Then I was told they wanted to start on the right side of my mouth (the side that has given me no trouble) once the tooth was drilled out and a temporary crown put on, I was then given a referral for a root canal in case the pain got worse while waiting for the permanent crown.
Why wasn't this explained prior? We had already discussed that I didn't want to get a root canal.
So, I go to schedule to put the permanent in and I'm told I'd have to wait until mid March (it takes 2 weeks for the tooth to come back) so they send me away with a repair kit "because it's likely my temporary will come out"
I'm not saying the man shouldn't take a vacation but, his office shouldn't schedule treatments unless his availability allows him to finish the job.
I complained enough and was seen a month later. The tooth with the crown is feeling better. But, the tooth next to it that he put a filling in hasn't stopped hurting.
I'm living off of tylenol and motrin for some type of relief. All for a side if my mouth that wasn't bothering me to begin with!
Meanwhile, I'm also still having the original issue with the left side of my mouth.
So, I've made an appointment with a new dentist and I'll be stuck paying out of pocket since Littles office used my allowance on a crown I probably didn't need in the first place. read more
