The fact is it only takes about 30 minutes start to finish.

I can do all 4 in about 25 minutes barring any unforseen complications.

THANKS!
Dear Alvin,
I received my dues statement on 11-14-05. As I was kicking it around, I started to think what A.E.S./Sargenti/RC2B meant to me. I took my schedule for the day and counted the number of root canals I had performed over the years for the patients scheduled just that day. Some of them go back to 1974. Ten single root, 8 double root and 16 triple (or more) root with no failures. The oldest is 31 years ago. In today’s dollars, that’s $16,910. Total time expenditure was about 27 hours. That breaks out to $626/hour. Here’s my check for dues plus one molar endo. AES is one of the three best things to happen to
me professionally. The other two are Gordon Christensen and Peter Dawson.
Thanks,

well my procedure cost $900 for the OS, $300 for the anaethesist and $250 for the hospital.

Add the same on subsequent visits to other surgeons as a result of my nerve damage. scans, CTs, visits to my GP for regular carbemazipine blood level checks.

multiply that by 50 for pain and suffering, loss of income and loss of future income.

I am the least litigious individual you would meet, but I run a business where I am expected to generate in excess of $20Mil volume this year. What chance of that happening when as soon as i open my mouth amd start talking i am in agony, this 4 months after my procedure.

I've got support medically when i decide to proceed.

If all 4 teeth are erupted with conical roots you could do all 4 teeth in less than 10 minutes.

I dont get paid per tooth I get a salary as a govt employee.

I would say that your bill is actually cheap. The OS's in my area charge about $3000 for 4 teeth under sedation.

They extraction on the right wasn't even required and this is what caused your damage? Same scenario.....my left wizzie was giving me issues and the right was taken out at the same time.

Do most people have RHS nerve damage?

Is this all you have to say?
You're a jerk.
Go bury your moronic head back in the sand

For 5 weeks post operation, i was in chronic pain 24/7 I went repeatedly back to see him and he steadfastly refused to acknowledge or suggest that something might be wrong - no scans, further xrays etc.....and his attitude stank.

It wasn't until the intervention of my second opinion OS, my GP and the Professor who is now treating me that my nerve damage was uncovered. The Prof writes the medico-legal opinions in the state and has stated that he will support me.

Every other OMFS I have met subsequent to the operation has been sensationally supportive and helpful. I unfortunately copped a ##### one.
