Question:
My Dentist broke a file in my root while performing a root canal. Who pays the Endodontist it remove it?
The tooth is my #3 tooth, so don't want it removed.
Answers:
I agree with Dr. Craig. As long as he informed you of the situation and made the appropriate referral to an endodontist, he handled the unfortunate complication correctly. I also agree that the dentist should not charge you. I have not when this has happened to me.
Interestingly, endodontists also break files in teeth. The only dentists who don't are the ones who don't do root canals.
