Case Description
I recently got my wisdom tooth pulled but I kept feeling pain so I went back to the dentist. Apparently he broke a piece of my bone, so he removed the part that was scraping my gum but I was still in pain so I went another dentist who said that the tooth next the one pulled got shifted now I needed a root canal to save it and my gums sewn over to cover the exposed bone .Is there any other option I can take and shouldn't the orginal dr pay for the root canal? I'm in a lot of PAIN!!!!!!!

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

With a difficult extraction, especially with any significant removal of bone, pain afterwards is common. It is appropriate for the treating dentist to provide strong pain medication. As far as teeth shifting, that usually takes at least several months to occur. Regardless, shifting alone should not cause the tooth to need root canal treatment.
