Q. About 6 Months ago I had a root canal and crown done on one of my teeth, via a private practise, this was paid by a loan arranged by the dental centre (interest free). Last Tuesday I went to get a check up and clean completed and talked about a weird smell and taste coming from that tooth, the dentist took a few xrays and said all teeth are looking really good, and finished the clean and booked me in for next checkup 6 months time, On the saturday whilst flossing, my crown fell out and it didn’t smell to great (blackness around where crown was). I’ve made a booking to see the dentist on weds this week. So the question is where do I stand, since I paid nearly £850 last time, and it has last only about 6 months (cleaned twice a day and mouth washed), and I can’t afford to be paying that out again and again, btw I do have one of their practice plans (under £10 a Month)
