DO Kim Quy, DDS

Dr. Do is a general dentist and not an oral surgeon. I made the huge mistake of going to him a few years ago. I needed to get a root canal on one of my molars after it got infected and he took my insurance. The price for his services was quite cheaper then other places I got quotes from, but now I realize that you should not put a price on your teeth. I figured a root canal cannot be too difficult right? Drill some holes, find the root via xays, file into the roots, fill it up to get rid of the infection, and then fill up the tooth and crown it.
He did an alright with my cleaning once, and so I figured I’ll just follow through with this. First and foremost, he said I didn’t need to be numbed because I had something done in the past where my nerves were removed from the tooth– WRONG. It was painful at first, so I started yelling at him, and didn’t want to go back but he already started. He was hesitant to numb me up, and said it shouldn’t hurt. Look, I am paying you, if I want to be numbed up, regardless of if I need it or not, just do it. He numbed me up and we finished with the procedure. The room in which he did my procedure was dark and gloomy too, I like bright places.
Now, three years later… The tooth is infected again, obviously he missed something when he was doing the procedure, probably a root, or he did not get all the way down to the tip of the roots. No one likes to go to the dentist, but now I have to go back to the dentist to get a retreatment. Retreatment’s are more difficult, more expensive, and probably not going to feel good. Even the endodontist said that the dentist probably didn’t do it correctly. I guess I should look at the bright side, and he used sterile tools, and not a paper clip like this one dentist I heard about on the news.
