No Crown For Me

I went for my dental appointment again today at NDC, thinking that the specialist (endodontist) will be 'crowning' me. Alas! No crown... just another root cleaning job and x-ray, costing me another $100+. :(

What a disappointment!! According to the specialist, since I still have slight swelling and pain at my tooth he can't do a crowning yet. I have to see the specialist one month later for a review of the swelling (not crowning). *sigh* I don't know if it's because he didn't do a thorough job last week so some bacteria still remains. Now I have to pay for it? :(

I feel like changing specialist...

Why not change specialist?

This is a relationship you are in, is it working out for you? Do you have trust and confidence in this specialist? If not, maybe it is time to move on.

the problem is... i might have to wait longer if i do decide to change... so not too sure yet.

You see, it is just like a relationship, you are afraid to let go because it might take time to find a replacement (of course, the pain in your tooth might be a factor as well).

It never hurts (Except maybe the pocketbook) to seek a second opinion.
