Narrative excerpt from patient/community member

Patients/community members discuss treatment costs. (2023)

We went to Dr. [xxx] and he’s a ripoff dentist. Let’s put it like that. He’ll put fillings in your mouth and then within a month’s time the filling done came out of your mouth. Then he wants you to come back in to refill and charge you for the same tooth he done filled. I’m like no. I’m like no you, you should have a warranty on fillings. Fillings. Yeah. I’m like no. And he kept putting that white filling in there. I don’t know. Instead of on your molars are general supposed to put silver or something in there? Yeah, he was putting the white and the white kept coming out. Even if you chewing gum or something, it would come out of your gum. You chewing gum and you have filling out crunches in your mouth.
