Complaint / Review
Western Dental
Malpractice

In August I went to western Dental because my gums were swollen, they did X-Rays and then told me that I had nine cavities. Four on the right side, and five on my left side.

They said they wanted to fill the four and then in a week they would fill the other five. I said OK, and they filled the four teeth. When they were done No one offered me antibiotics or even pain killers, and I was too numb to ask.

A few days later I noticed that the side they worked on was always in pain. I was sensitive to hot and cold, (when I was not before) and eating anything on the right side hurt. My teeth would also go into terrible pain that kept me up at night.

I called another dentist and explained the pain and they told me that they think that I may have needed a root canal not fillings, and I made an appointment to see them.

I went back to Western Dental a week after my last appointment and asked for my X-Rays and some pain killers to ease the pain they had caused, but since they said I was going to another dentist they would not give me any pain killers.

So a week after that I see the new dentist, and he looks at my X-Rays and examines my mouth then tells me that he see's no Cavities. I don't have five cavities on my left side (like western dental said)

I only need one root canal, and as for the side they already did, he can't tell if I had cavities or not since they were already filled but according to the X-Rays, I had none.

He told me some places do that for insurance fraud, and encourged me to sue.

So I go to another dentist, he checks out the X-Rays only and he says just by looking at the X-rays he says the same thing.

So I go to another dentist who examines my mouth and the X-Rays and he says the same thing. All he saw was a tooth that needs a root canal but there are no cavities in my left side, and according to the X-Rays there were no cavities in my right side.

I end up calling lawyers but they keep passing me to someone else, then finally one lawyer tells me the truth. I have no Case.

Due to the fact I signed a stupid paper that western Dental has you sign, to sum it up says I can't sue them if they screw up, not even for insurance fraud.

So now for the rest of my life my right side of my mouth get's to feel pain to hot and cold, and goes into horrible pain every once in a while, all because they got greedy and decided to mess up my mouth to get some money.

The Lawyer also told me that since the first dentist wanted to remain anonymous, that it would be hard to win a case against them anyway.

The only thing I can now do is tell as many people as I can to not go to Western Dental on Farmers Lane, and if you do, DO NOT Sign the paper that states you cannot sue.

If they mess up your mouth, they also get to mess up your life.
