Is this a normal thing in Japan?
About 3 weeks ago I came in for some pain on the right side. After taking x rays and not finding anything he gave me antibiotics and pain killers. I was ok a couple days later.
During the follow up visit he said it was likely just trauma and that I should get a bridge on the other side to even things out and I agreed. This involves shaving down a back tooth and 1 k9 and placing temporaries on both. I’m now 8 sessions deep with him, 2 additional cavities filling sessions and 2 emergency dentist appointments in the heart of shinjuku during golden week (because my dentist is closed) to re-attach one of the back temporaries later.
Every visit it’s a small amount of work and then he sends me on my way. Also, each of these visits add up. It seemed like a good price at first but not anymore. Now I’m waiting 3 weeks to get this bridge built and put in…
Anyone else have any experiences with short dental sessions?
