I had to get a root canal when I was about 17.. So I went to Western Dental, in merced. The guys doing that filing thing they do, which I can feel.. SO i tell the guy 'hey I can feel that' he then asked 'Well, do you want some tylenol?' I asked for another shot since i only had one, he refuesd.. and continues filing. Well the file broke off in my root and the dentist guy told me 'oh well its too deep for me to dig it out' He covered it with a temp crown and sent me on my way. Then I get a bill stating i have to pay 75.00 per month till the whateveramount.00 is paid off. So I call and tell the lady what happend. She sent me some sort of appeal paperwork to fill out. Send that in, told them if you send me a bill again, Im going to sue you then you can pay ME.. Ive never heard back from them.... hmm... Oh and that file thing? yeah... still in my mouth. Luckily enough my reg. dentist looked at it and the file is serving as the post. so. Just appeal it. :-D good luck.

I was 19yrs old and had a toothache bad. I did not know what to do since my mom always handled my dental needs. So I called 1-800-Dental. The told me to call Western Dental since it is near my house. I made an appointment and went in. The dentist was so rough and all he was doing was cleaning my teeth and i was praying to god if i made it out alive i will forever keep my teeth clean and never go back to them again. i tell everyone who will listen do not go to western dental the are BUTCHERS!
