Case Description
On Dec 20th, I had an old silver filling redone. As soon as I ate I had a very sharp pain in the tooth. I went back to the dentist the next day and they stated that my bite had to be adjusted. After the bite was adjusted I still have a pain, but not as sharp. It was readjusted again on Jan 10th and I still have the same problem. I called the dentist and they want to adjust the bite again. Is there something else going on? Should I see someone else?

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.
