This February I took my son to a dentist who is in the same building as his daycare, Dr. Harvey Haber whose address is 7005 Kildare road, suite 1 because he (my son) had 2 cavities in his front teeth which are joint together.
Before starting the filling I asked the doctor to clean his teeth. Then he did the filling. But after a few days the filling came off the teeth. I took my son to his office again. The doctor said it was because the boy made it wet by his tougn (tongue) when he was doing the filling. Usually if the dentist finds the patient doing anything improper for the treating he should point it out. But he did not say anything about the making-it- wet issue.
Unfortunately, this time the filling did not last long. After 3 days of the re-filling it came off again when I was back in China. After 1 month when I came back to Canada I took my son to see the dentist again on 3rd of May. He gave the same explanation.
This time, it has not come off yet but things are getting even worse. On last Friday night, 11 May, my son cried out 4 times in his sleeping because of the toothache. The next morning I was shocked to see his upper lip was so swollen. I could do nothing but giving him the advil (Advil) during the weekend. On Monday morning, 14 May, my husband took my son to the dentist again. The dentist looked at the teeth and told my husband that everything is OK and there is no sign to show it is related to the filling. Maybe it was because allergy or he just bit himself. And he suggested wait another 2 days before prescribing the antibiotics. As a professional, I am so surprised that these words could come out of his mouth. Firstly, I did not give anything special to my son these days; secondly, it is impossible for my son to bite his upper lip so badly. If it was because of the injury my son would have cried out on the spot. But the daycare teachers did not report any injuries to me in the daycare nor did I see him get injured at home.
I felt the dentist was no longer trust worthy so I brought my son to another dentist. There the dentist gently open the boy’s upper lip and told me there was serious infection in his gum and he had to take antibiotics for at least 7 days. Then he checked his teeth and made certain that the right front tooth. He explained that the nerve had dyed and caused the infection. Later the dentist took the x-ray. In the end he told me that apart from this infection there are other serious problems that he could not get them solved. He suggested me go to the children’s hospital and see a specialist there. The boy may need to do a root canal which will cost 2000 Canadian dollars.
I am so sad and hear (heart) broken to hear all these. We have been seeing the dentist for 3 months just wanted to do the small filling. But now the cavity is getting bigger and bigger and even the nerves died.
When he used anesthetic for the last time filling, he should have already realized that there was infection there. For the previous twice filling my son didn’t feel pains and didn’t move to avoid him. But he didn’t say anything nor did do anything just to make the cavity look OK. 3 months passed, and my son’s small cavity has turned into a root canal problem in this dentist’s hands. He is ABUSING my child. We paid for ABUSING and suffering.
Since this morning around 11:30, 15 May, the child has had a high fever of 39 degrees. We spent time going to see the dentist again and again; we suffered to see the child is painful and have a lot of pressure; we paid, we just paid for the abusing, cheating and all these troubles and disappointments. He is not only abusing the child but also cheating and lying. As a professional of over 30 years he doesn’t try to relieve the pains from the patients but trying hard to make use and take advantages of us.
We have never asked him to do any examination because we did it less than 1 year ago in the children’s hospital. And he did NOT do it in fact, but he charged me for that. I had not known it until he complained that the insurance company refused to pay for that. Is this the cheating and stealing money from my pocket?
We are new to Quebec and we have very good impression on this beautiful place and the warm civil servants. We work hard and want to do our contributions to our new home but this experience can damage Montreal’s reputation. We know there are good and bad guys anywhere and I believe most of the people here are honest and nice otherwise we would not have moved so far to build up our family and begun our new life from 0 (zero) in a brand new country.
We hope the justice will get done.
