If your dentist has billed for the procedure (which would be normal), than the endodontist will need to bill you for more of the procedure cost, and possibly write more narrative to the insurance carrier. Files do separate inside canals from time to time. It is a fact of life. Most times, they separate after the canal has been cleaned well, and sealing around it works just fine. Sometimes, a root will have strange anatomy with extra curves and twists which do not show up on the x-ray image. These roots tend to grip the file tips and the ends can then separate despite the dentist using proper technique. -- / Amatus / <katelyn11(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:1128892037.285171.256300(a)o13g2000cwo.googlegroups.com... > Thank you all you your responses!

Can I wait until January of next year then? Does it increase the risk that I may need to extract my tooth? |
