Abougoush Family Dental Care

fter moving to Calgary from Kelowna I needed a new dentist. My grandma has been going here forever and had nothing but amazing things to say. Unfortunately my experience was the exact opposite of amazing. I went in for a teeth cleaning and a routine check up and was told I had a tiny cavity so I agreed to have it filled while I was already there. I had no idea I had this cavity as it never bothered me what so ever. Just a few days after getting this filling the whole left side of my mouth was in an extreme amount of pain so I called and went back and they figured my bite was off which it was so they fixed that. The next day the pain was back to the point I couldn't even eat any solid food. I go back yet again and they figured maybe there was an air bubble in the filling so they remove the filling and re do the filling and assured me there was air bubble in the first filling so more than likely not the issue but I was hoping this would fix the issue. Great, until the pain comes back almost immediatly after the freezing wears off and it is was even worse than before. Then I'm told my tooth is cracked and I need a root canal and a crown which is $1400. I was totally stunned by this and by the fact they would be charging me since my tooth was NOT cracked before, I had zero pain before. Might I add I had to take 3 days off work for these 3 different appointments as I am terrified of the dentist and need to be somewhat sedated in order to even go and now I am still having to take time off work constantly because the pain is so bad I cant even open my mouth. Now I'm at a point where I haven't chewed on the left side of my mouth in months and cannot afford a root canal and a crown at this point since I am constantly taking time off work due to this pain. I paid to have the filling which I wish I would have just left the cavity as it was, it was so minor and it was no bother at all. Very disappointing as my grandma has had such good things to say about this dental office. Do not recommend as they will not take responsibility for any faults and clearly don't care enough to take proper care of their patients.
