What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
This is the situation. My friend went to a dentist for a regular cleaning.
The dentist suggested to change one of her fillings (of a tooth that was fine and was not hurting her) to replace it with a white filling.
She agreed. Had it changed and shortly after she started having pains in that tooth.
she went in for a second time to have it fixed. It still was hurting her a lot.
The third time she went to the dentist, she was told she will have to get a root canal done,
and now she is being told that she will need a crown as well.
neither the root canal nor the crown are covered by her dental plan.
the cost of it exceeds $2000.
is there a case here to be made that she should not have to pay for any of that.
the tooth was fine, it was not something she went to the dentist for in the first place.
thank you for any input on this..
