I went to doctor Ta because I had a horrible tooth ache. She took an x-ray and saw that next to the tooth that was painful was an impacted tooth (I already knew this but have been to other dentists who told me to monitor it, no need to come out). Ta suggested I have the two teeth next to the painful tooth(and the impacted one, i.e. the one in the gum) pulled because she thought the pain was coming from the impacted tooth. I went to an endodontist who took another x-ray and saw there was a fracture in the tooth. It was solved with a root canal. I really cannot believe that she would suggest pulling 2 permanent teeth from my mouth (and send me to a surgeon) before even investigating other options. She was somewhat rude when I told her I was going to an endodontist and said I HAD to have the teeth pulled. I will definitely NOT go back and will not recommend her to anyone. What kind of practice are you running?!
