I recently had a root canal treatment [1st stage] and am left with a temporary filling which is fine. The problem is I’ve noticed my new dentist has taken about 1/4 away from the length of my healthy part of the tooth and now it is short. I’m positive that isn’t right and I don’t know what to do about it? I’m also very upset that she removed so much of my healthy tooth. We agreed to use a composite filling directly laid in thin layers as I told her I didn’t want to lose any of my healthy tooth but how will a composite filling replace the length of my tooth that she drilled away? What are my rights here and what is acceptable for me to ask or perhaps even demand so that it can be put right? e.g. She may say I need to pay for a porcelain inlay but I don’t see why I should pay extra and im also scared she may do something else wrong again… Please advise me [she has her own private practice and is the only dentist there. Can I ask for compensation or my money back so I can go elsewhere?

Dentists are stealing healthy teeth left and right and getting away with refusing to do anything the patient wants. They are getting away with costing us a fortune making us need to keep going to different dentists to try to get one to do what we want. The people are not wrong and stupid, the dentists are going too fast and do not care about our teeth enough and should not be allowed to do this and get paid for it. People all need to floss and wear mouth guards when doing heavy work so they do not break their own teeth from the great pressure we put on them doing our heavy work.
