Business ProfileforWild About Smiles - Pediatric Dentistry

Brought my daughter in for X-rays and an exam due to her mouth hurting. When the dentist came to discuss “options” for my daughter, it was less than a 5 minute interaction leaving me very confused. They stated she needed 2 fillings, 4 caps, but did not show me her X-rays or discuss me which teeth had the cavities. The dentist started discussing sedations with me since she’s young. Light sedation but she would need to come into the office twice Or put her under for the procedure to complete all at once. I thought the dentist had recommended the light sedation when he was discussing options, But was brought into another room to make an appointment for my daughter to be put under for the procedure. I had bad feelings and was very confused. It felt like a business transaction and it did not feel right. My husband later called to get clarification on why she needed to go under and was told she had a root canal. . . And it was very invasive and that she also needed 4 caps and 2 fillings. . . Which the root canal was not previously disclosed. They started requesting her medical insurance information so they could schedule her. My husband requested an estimate for the procedure but was told they had to run her insurance first. I decided to request her X-rays and take her to another dentist who verified she DOES NOT have a root canal. She does need 4 caps, but they do not see additional cavities that require fillings. And she does not need to be put under for them to perform the procedure. Performing such an invasive procedure would be detrimental to her teeth especially since all her teeth are baby teeth. I knew I had a bad feeling when I left and I am glad I got a second opinion before putting my trust into this business with my child.
