commotiocordisAnd my root canaled tooth hurts when I bite down. The temp filling's sinking into the hole again, just like it always does when the endodontist has done it. I've been meaning to call for an appointment for a crown (back at the original chick) all week, but it hasn't gotten done.
I'm not looking forward to going back to her at all. Especially because of the threat of upper-molar fillings.
On the bright side, she's mostly gotten her billing straightened out (all we've had to do is wait, really). We got a statement where it said that the balance was -$185 (which isn't any number that I ever calculated, but larger than I thought, so we'll go with it), but then had a $414 charge tacked on the bottom. The $414 is one of the numbers I found--the exact amount the insurance company paid her for that failure of a root canal, so it looks like the dentist got a bill back from the insurance for the amount she'd been paid for the root canal she wasn't supposed to bill for, and then just slapped it onto me without looking. We're moving in the right direction, at least.
