During a visit to one of the dentists, a dental instrument was left inside my tooth. Despite taking several X-rays, the dentist failed to notice it or inform me about it. I only found out during a visit to another specialist. The total cost of treatment and removing the instrument was huge; communication was difficult, and they demanded an invoice from me. After I submitted it, I was eventually reimbursed—after quite a long time—only for the treatment of the specific tooth where the instrument had been left. Both my son and I were patients at this clinic; after the incident, when I asked to switch dentists, I was told it would be done—but it never happened. To this day, neither I nor my child has been assigned a new dentist, even though nearly a year has passed. I was told my son would be seen if he developed pain, but that didn't happen either; instead, I was told to call 111. I know the practice was registering new patients during this time, yet they still couldn't find one for us. It wasn't my fault the dentist left an instrument in my tooth, yet I feel like the clinic treats me as if it were my fault. I do NOT recommend them!
