I had an exam after a cleaning. It was suggested I have a silver filling replaced. I went ahead and agreed to the suggestion. So the dentist, Celia Figueroa, proceeded and changed out the filling. After that I could not chew any food on that teeth. Pain was THROBBING on the side of my face. Cold air and warm foods made it worst, anything slightly cold. AIR against the tooth was so PAINFUL and to breathe. Went in a week later to see if the bite needed an adjustment, she polished the tooth. She explained if it continues to hurt come in a week later and she will put a sedative filling in temporarily, then to be stuck by more needles for a 3rd time to put back the filling again. By that time I would have no tooth left!! I explained to her with all my symptoms it seems that I need a ROOT CANAL now because she done a horrible job digging my tooth out to the nerve, she said over and over again no that I don't need one. I asked her "Are you sure the tooth is not fractured and did you see the nerve?" she said "No". For the entire month I had to take an Ibuprofen 800mg night and day the pain was so excruciating. I was not about to be an experiment in her chair and let her sedate my mouth again to put in a sedative filling, then sedated a 3rd time to finally put in another filling in the same tooth! NO WAIT FOR ME TO GET NUMB. 2nd opinion, the new dentist told me I needed a ROOT CANAL did tests. STAY AWAY unless you want to end up with a root canal or an extraction. LOSSED MY TOOTH!
