Case Description
I just asked a question about my tooth which had root canal recently and now I still have pain. I received my response which was to return to the endodontist who did the root canal surgery as it could be a few different things. I forgot to ask - if it is an accessory canal that was missed - do I now get RE- Charged for this. I am hesistating called the dentist because now I am out of work and CAN NOT afford it. Therefore my question is are patients charged if this was missed??? Any info about payment is greatly appreciated.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

I have been out of town for two weeks sorry for the delay.Generally speaking if there is a canal that is undetected in the x-ray the dentist will complete the treatment at no additional cost to the patient. That is the philosophy in my practice and in most of the dentists that I know. Simply call the dental office and ask to be sure.ThanksHans Schleicher, DDShans@schleicherdental.com
