I am having issues with my current dentist and am considering moving because if it. I've been having a constant dull pain in one of my front incisors for over the past few months. I asked him if he could make a request for a root canal treatment under my medical card. He did and it was approved. However, after my last visit he is now refusing to do the root canal treatment as he believes it is unnecessary as the tooth is still alive,and said root treatment will darken the tooth. The only treatment he offered was NSAIDS which dont help at all and I am still in pain. I should probably mention that all of this was told to me by the secretary I'm not sure how much longer I can put up with the discomfort.
If I switch to a different dentist will a separate request need to be made?
