My son was seen by his regular dentist who informed us that half his tooth was missing and was…read moreinfected/abscessed, and they wouldn't be able to pull it for a few months. In order to avoid him having to take antibiotics until then, I frantically called around trying to find a dentist that could see him ASAP to get it pulled. After speaking to a few different places, I decided to take my son here since they were accommodating enough to see him the quickest. They informed me he would first need an exam by the dentist to see what work needed to be done, which was fine by me. While there he talked about a lot more extensive work that needed to be done including another tooth pulled, baby root canal, and a crown (all of which was never mentioned by his regular dentist). They said he could come in the next morning to get the infected tooth pulled for which I was so grateful to get it taken care of. Signed off on the treatment plan which again stated that the infected tooth was going to be pulled first and the rest of the dental work (extra tooth pulled, baby root canal) would be done at a later date. My husband had to work the day of my son's extraction and since I had a baby I couldn't go back there with my son. But he assured me he was fine to go back by himself. Tooth pulled and we headed home, only for my husband to mention later that day "I thought the infected tooth was on the other side?"....... Yes, yes it was..... The infected tooth was still in his mouth... After finally getting a hold of the receptionist I asked her for some clarification as to why they did not pull my sons infected tooth, the one they said they would, the one I specifically came there for in the first place, the one they had listed on the treatment plan. She spoke to the dentist and this is where the gaslighting began... she said it was not a mistake that he made a judgement call based upon his expertise, and that he decided to pull the other tooth (which just had a larger cavity mind you) because he wanted to get that root canal taken care of before it became infected. And that if it became infected he would've had to have had 3 teeth pulled.... So you're telling me that they're over here just pulling teeth willy nilly when they get infected instead of the first line of defense which would be a baby root canal, which spoiler alert is what you were going to be doing regardless? Imagine taking your child to the doctor for an infected cut on his leg, only for him to come into the waiting room with a bandage on his arm instead. The doctor tells you he noticed the infected cut on his leg but wanted to take care of the cut on his arm first because of the "potential" of it becoming infected, and to come back in a few weeks and he will take care of the infected cut on the leg. That is essentially what happened in this case, literally absurd right? So now my neurodivergent son had to take antibiotics which again isn't easy for him and I wanted to avoid. It required a doctors visit just to get the script changed to chewables because he can't take liquid form. All of this could've been avoided had this dentist just PULLED THE INFECTED TOOTH!

I originally brought my girls here since, at the time, I have Delta Denta and Medi-Cal. the staff…read moreis nice and great with kids. This is where the good ends. My girls first appointment went well. filled one cavity in one child and cleaned boths girls' teeth. They told me my older daughter would need a root canal on an adult tooth. She was, I believe, 10 at the time. They do not refer out but they gave me a referral to take to an endodontist of my choice. I tried to take her to Salida Surgery but they refused to sedate for a root canal. I ended up having to call several dentists. She had to see and adult endodontist because it was ana adult tooth and NO one would see her. Finally found a place outside my area in the Easy Bay. The total for her sedation and root canal came out to nearly $5000 out of pocket. I paid it. I took my daughter back in for her 6th month check up and the dentist was now saying she needed 2 more root canals. It makes no sense that they did not catch this before or that her endodontist didnt catch it less than 6 months later. I decided to take my girls to Dr. Filbruns office, where I go. The denitst did a full Xray of my childs mouth and said she might possibly need 1 root canal but we might be able to just do a regular filling if its not too deep. If it is too deep we can refer her out immediately. 1 possible root canal. Not 2 definite root canals. She also didnt understand how they would have missed it if it was only 6 months earlier that she had been suggested the first. Its ridiculous that doctors like this one take advantage of the welfare system and the ignorance of their patience or their patient's parents. They are entrusted to be honest but this is not honesty. And absolute piracy. Any typical welfare parents would have just did what the doctor said to do and put their kids in unnecessary pain because they don't have to fork out the money or lose time at work. What is sad is all welfare dentists treat their patients like this. They add on unnecessary work because they know Medi-Cal will pay it out. They are greedy. Had I not got a second opinion, i would be looking at another $6k out if my pocket, at least. Instead, It might be as much as only $300. $150 for filling and $150 more if she needs the root canal after all. And my dentist has someone they can refer her out to, unlike Children's Choice.
