Case Description
I need to have dental work done that i have put off for 10 years because the shots with the epinephrine cause rapid, pounding heartbeat for about 20 minutes straight that made my heart hurt painfully. I have been told I could get a shot without the epinephrine but that it would cause too much pain and too much bleeding because my fillings will be very deep. The dentist decided not to work on me. What are my options now? Money is no problem for me. I have more than enough to pay. I don't want to lose my teeth. I need about 10 fillings and 1 root canal.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
