About 5 yrs or so ago when I was on parents insurance and seeing a dentist in my hometown, I had a cavity filled on a back top molar. It was a bad one and occassionally I had issues with food getting caught at the filling and the tooth beside it (non-cavity tooth). At one point during a check up, I asked about the gap and the dentist said, yea I should have filled the gap more so it's not so big. I would redo it for you, but only after you do a better job flossing (I was awful! much better now)...so fast forward to today.
Food still occassionally gets caught there and causes pain for a day or two. Do you think if I asked my new dentist to fill it, I'd have to pay for the entire thing outright, or does insurance (different company now and different dentist) cover it?
Re: Crappy dentist/Botched filling
OKay thanks, didn't know if it'd be different since it's a "re"-filling and not the same insurance or doctors work...but it does cause discomfort.
Gracias!

Can I just say that your old dentist sounds like an @sshole. Seriously? He wouldn't fix something that he f-ed up because he was punishing you for not flossing properly? What kind of crap is that??? That's the exact reason that people stop going to the dentist.
