Don’t let this happen to you
I had a patient present to our office last March with pain due to an infection in his tooth. The treatment necessary to treat the tooth was a root canal. The patient was referred to the specialist for treatment and was then advised to return to our office for the permanent restoration. The patient did not return for a year due to financial limitations. When the patient finally returned to our office for tx the tooth had decayed to the point it was not restorable and needed extraction. Point of the story, always return to your dentist after a root canal for a permanent restoration. Never be afraid to discuss payment and treatment options instead of investing time and money into a tooth and then losing it in the end!!!
