I had a root canal/pulpectomy performed recently, and was somewhat dismayed to be one in 400 people to have a '4th canal' which upped the cost of the surgery by about $400... since I am not a dental professional, and the woman who spoke with me concerning the costs was a bit pushy, I felt that I was being taken advantage of in a business setting rather than being offered the dental help and alternate options I needed. Plus the fact that they performed the procedure before even discussing payment options, so I was obligated to pay for it anyway... this left me with an unsavory feeling upon leaving the office.
Since requiring a root canal means I was in pain, I felt that I was helpless to disagree with the condition of a 4th canal, since I needed the operation rather desperately.
Other than that, I was very satisfied with the dentist himself, the staff behind the front desk as well as the very sweet dental assistants.
My main problem was being pressured and practically bullied into paying for a 4th canal by the financial advisor. I never knew I had a 4th canal and thought that I would have known since I had braces as a kid and my orthodontist would have mentioned it.
