Business ProfileforJust for Kids Pediatric Dentistry

My son ************** was seen and treated by this office over the course of several years. He was seen every 6 months for routine cleaning and as needed for additional treatment, generally a filling. As a younger child my son chipped his front tooth. This dental office had repaired the chip and "rebuilt" the tooth. After a while it chipped again and this office referred us out for cosmetic dentistry, i.e. veneers. Approximately 7/27/2023. There was no mention of any other dental concerns during this visit. The office they recommended was not in our network so I found another local dentist that was in-network and made an appointment for early October (10/12/23) At our consultation I was stunned to hear that the tooth we were told needed a veneer or other cosmetic attention was in fact filled with a large cavity and need urgent care. (Not to mentioned the other cavities that had gone undiagnosed by Just For Kids Pediatric Dentistry, totaling an estimated out of pocket expense of several thousand dollars.) On 11/1/23 we had the tooth filled and the large cavity removed. The dentist was concerned that it had gone undiagnosed by JFKPD and was worried it may have been caught to late and would need a root canal. Unfortunately our new dentist was correct and the cavity was found to late and a root canal was in fact needed. Due to the amount of pain my son was in we were forced to have the emergency root canal done out of network. To date I have paid approximately $1,949 dollars out of pocket to cover dental work that went undiagnosed and untreated by JFKPD . When I reached out to Just For Kids Pediatric Dentistry's office about this matter they responded that our new dentist was very aggressive in treatment. ****** never gave me an option of treatment, never told me there could be a possible cavity or concern in all of our years with them. Now JFKPD is sending me a bill for $27. I would like this charge waived and for JFKPD to stop contacting me.
