Case Description
I had some fillings when I was young. I am now 26 and one of the fillings on my bottom left tooth fell out about a year ago. Soon after it started to chip and now half of the tooth is broken down to my gum . There has been no pain until about 2 days ago. It hurts pretty bad. I have been using floride mouthwash every 20 min or so, seems to help with the pain. Just wondering what kind of procedure needs to be done. I just moved to phoenix less than a month ago and dont have insurance yet. Just wondering if any dentists will set up a payment plan or give me a cost estimate.. It hurts!!

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.

No Estimate at this time. Additional information required.
Good morning, the fact that it hurts might mean that something other than needing another filling may be necessary. Because of the length of time that has passed since your last dental visit, we will recommend xrays and an exam. Please feel free to call the office and Katie can help you with all your questions. We do have in-office financing if payment plan is what you are looking for. For the initial visit, we will do a limited exam and xray. We cannot give you a estimate of what needs to be done until we look in your mouth. We will present a treatment plan to you before any work is started. Have a great day and we look foward to meeting you.Dr Batoon
