I went to see if Molar 18 could be saved by a Root Canal but after taking the CBCT Scan ($200 out…read moreof pocket) and another bitewing PA X-Ray, Dr. Elizabeth Choybowski informed me that the tooth would not be a good candidate for a root canal. She began talking about TMJ which I have never had and made strong suggestions to see a specific TMJ specialist across the street. Actually, Dr. Chybowski should have suggested seeing an ENT (ears, noser and throat doctor) where they could make an accurate diagnosis and do the necessary accurate diagnostic tests and so forth. Also, TMJ is not covered by Medicare and most private employer sponsored health insurance. I appreciated the fact Dr. Chybowski was honest in telling me that my tooth would be better off being extracted which they do not handle. But I did want to speak with Dr. Choyboyski a bit further and she seemed very hurried and left. So I made my own appointment with an Oral Surgeon at Great Midwest Oral Surgery. I asked WI Endodontics-Mayfair to send the CBCT Scan as well as the PA Bitewing for that Molar to them. They did send the CBCT Scan but Greater Midwest Oral Surgery could not open the file and view the CBCT Scan. They also mentioned that they had three other patIents from WI Endodontic-Mayfair that CBCT Scans could not be opened/viewed. I called WI Endo back and told them that. All they could say was the Oral Surgeon's Office did not have the correct software to view this $200 CBCT Scan. No way was I going to pay another $200 for another CBCT at the Oral Surgeon's Office too. The Dr. Groeckermann, Oral Surgeon was kind enough to offer to do it for free given the circumstances. I did some research regarding this and found out in the State of WI, Endodontics are required to send the required software disc along with their CBCT Scan. WI Endodontic-Mayfair did not do this and attempted to place the blame on the Oral Surgeon's system. For the brief time actually speaking with Dr Chybowski and her insistence on TMJ referral, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend WI Endodontics-Mayfair nor Dr. Chybowski. It seems like the CBCT Scan is the money maker and referrals for TMJ aren't far behind. I also believe that Dr. Chybowski could see the amount of decay and placement within the Molar with the PA Bitewing....my own General Dentist could see this on her PA Bitewing of Molar 18. I just wanted to see if WI EndodonticsI could have done a root canal and saved the tooth, but it turned into another stressful, expensive nightmare for me.

Dr. Nencka had X-rays done, then did cold and percussion testing to determine which tooth was causing the problem. (My dentist wasn't able to determine which of three molars was causing the pain, but felt I probably needed a root canal.) He seemed to easily determine which tooth was the problem, one with a crown, and numbed that side of my mouth. Explaining as he went along, a device was added to keep my mouth open while he worked. I had no pain in my tooth from the procedure, only dull pain from keeping my jaw open so long, probably due to my TMJ problems. Finally the toothache and associated headache is gone after a fairly quick procedure! I remember my dentist performing a root canal on a tooth close to 55 years ago: Dental science, as we all know, and like anything technology based, has changed for the better in procedures like this! So much better!!

So beyond grateful to everyone who helped get this done today. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, I truly am amazed they made it work for me.

It's a hard sell for TMJ services with every appointment. Cost for TMJ services: Assessment $650 and treatment $5400-6500 (services weren't clarified) with payment required upfront. He says he uses a third-party to maximize insurance payout and after that is received, he would refund anything that insurance covers. When I asked what patients do when they can't afford this treatment, he became defensive and explained that he couldn't provide services for free (which I wouldn't expect). I found a local (TMJ & Orofacial Pain Treatment Center) doctor who is excellent, fitted me with a night guard for under $200, and that has very clear patient costs for services after insurance, and charges much less overall.

I originally had a root canal done at my regular dentist and it continued giving me on and off…read moreissues. With my most recent issue it began to hurt chewing and my OG dentist labeled it a 'problem tooth' and had me come in for X-rays and an exam where it revealed the 'problem tooth' was infected and would either need extraction or root canal retreatment. Since it was a problem, he leaned me towards extraction. However, my gut kept telling me to dig a little deeper and seek an alternative opinion. I took a weekend and researched root canals and retreatments. I came to find out that Endodontists exists and that a significantly high percentage (roughly 80%) of root canals fail when conducted by general dentists (your every day dentist)! In fact, up to 98% of root canals done by specialists (endodontists) succeed! Read those again (and google it yourself). These stats, paired with my gut feeling of a second opinion led me to research endodontists that were both highly rated online and within my insurance's network of care. This led me to Access Endodontics in Brookfield. Calling to make an initial connection was a breeze and the staff was very helpful. They would connect with my insurance and my current dentist to gain a referral and necessary pre-steps. They called me back a couple days later and we set up an in-person evaluation, which was a breeze. I saw Dr. Stover and immediately felt at ease. Her bedside manner was top notch and, paired with her Knowledge and expertise, left me feeling calm and confident in my decision to try retreatment. I also felt connected to her opinion and agreed that it was worth trying retreatment so as not to wonder 'what if'. Flash forward to the retreatment appointment and, while I was feeling nervous, her calmness and thorough yet empathetic approach made for a night and day experience from my initial root canal. Additionally, it was during my retreatment appointment with her that I learned the Dr found 2.5 MORE ROOTS that were completely MISSED the first time!! Of course this tooth was a 'problem' because it hadn't been properly treated the first time. Can you believe it?! Again, so glad I tried. If the options are to try again or pull the tooth, I'm trying again and gee am I glad I did. The procedure was straightforward and didn't last the entire time slot they designated for me. I listened to music in my earbuds the whole time and have since had a follow up to check its progress. It is healing nicely and the root canal seems very successful. I only wish I knew of and had gone the endodontist route the first time around! Both Drs at this location are great and I highly recommend.

My Dentist thought that since the pain was so intense that I was awakened at night and I had a root canal done in the tooth that I felt was hurting, I should go directly to an endodontist. My Dentist referred me to Access Endodontists. I called Access Endodontists on 11/15/2024 and explained that my dentist referred me to them and that I was not sure which tooth was the issue as the pain seemed to move as it intensified. I was assured they could diagnose my issue. My insurance information was requested and given. Later someone called me and explained my covereage was maxed out. I asked how much the evaluation would cost if I paid cash and was told around $238.00. I agreed to the amount and was scheduled for an appointment 11/19/2024. I had a very missable 4 days but survived by alternating Tylenol with Ibuprofen. When I arrived on 1/19/2024 I was given forms to fill out. After filling out all the forms and while sitting in an examining chair, I explained my situation to the person who was helping me. The person helping me told me they could not evaluate my situation because I did not have a referral. I explained over and over that I did have a referral. They said they tried to contact my dentist but were unable to. I drove to my dentists office while in severe pain and asked what was going on. After some back and forth Access Endodontics told my dentist's office they require the dentist to evaluate the situation before sending them to Access Endodontics. This policy was news to my dentist. I made an oral contract with Access Endodontics and agreed to pay them money, then was refused treatment and left in intense pain. No alternative action was presented.
