I stopped seeing Dr. Phillips in late 2011. He had then recently fitted me with two new crowns. Due to pain and swelling of one of the crowns, my physician reccommended a particular specialist, in order to get an unbiased opinion. Following an exam of the two new crowns, she first discovered a large empty 'pocket' beneath my gum where food debris could accumulate and then she showed me my x-rays. She was quite upset/aggravated when she pointed out that my jawbone was seriously infected. She was adamant that the crown should never have been placed without a final x-ray beforehand. She said that without a serious course of antibiotics (which she prescribed) my jawbone would have become necrotic. Until that afternoon I considered him the kindest, most gentle and considerate dentist I had ever met. I had told him about the pain and a small abcess while he worked on the tooth - but because he didn't seem concerned, I trusted him to the point of ignoring my own good judgement! I still haven't found a new dentist. I need one ... but due to this experience I don't know whom to trust now.
