When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Cost Estimate: $105.00 initial consultation plus radiographs
The problem sounds, from the information given, like a possible root-canal related issue or posssible root fracture. Either way, it sounds as if you have an abscess that requires treatment. Only a clinical examination with a radiograph can lead to a more definitive diagnosis and proper treatment plan. I am a board-certified periodontist, limited to "gum" related issues & dental implant (if extractions are required) therapies. I am happy to evaluate the problem for you. Another valuable opinion would probably come from a board-certified endodontist. In Phila., Dr. Louis Rossman is highly-regarded as the best in this field.
