What should I do if the dentist ripped me off?
I went to the dentist with excruciating toothache. He said my tooth needed a root canal. The treatment cost €400. It was presented as if the treatment wouldn't be covered by health insurance. My dentist presented it as if this treatment would cost €400, no ifs, ands, or buts.
I recently learned that there's also a treatment option covered by health insurance, where I didn't have to pay anything.
Because of my appearance (I look like a southern migrant), I didn't receive adequate and competent advice. The dentist thought, "I'll just rip this idiot off."
The treatment has obviously not yet taken place, then you turn to another dentist.
The costs are taken over when the tooth is classified as safe. The directive on dental treatment states that the root canals must be prepared and filled up to or close to the root tip. For the rear side teeth (molars), a root canal treatment is usually cash flow when
If a tooth is not tangible, an extraction is provided as the cash register power, i.e. the pulling of the tooth.

No. That’s not it. Just because you signed this, you don’t have to let it go. Calculated only what was done.
It depends on which tooth it is and how many roots or how many channels the tooth has. The more the more expensive.
You have the alternative to letting the tooth go. This pays the health insurance. Then, however, there are costs for replacement, i.e. bridge or implant. The gap does not have to be closed but also usually has consequences.
It is best not to get so far that a tooth must be rooted. It doesn’t always work.
It doesn’t have anything to do with cankeys or anything else.
Maybe you should have read and ask what you’re signing.
Why didn’t you go to a good dentist you trusted?
I chose the dentist according to time and local criteria.
Hello LeonardoDi,
first, a doctor does not knock off. He’ll pay for BEMA or GOZ. If there’s really someone on the other side, his cash register is on the game and he could go for a taxi.
By the way: If you were to blame for racism, you’d get out of my way in the middle of the treatment.
You’re free to get a second opinion. And the cash flow was already mentioned in another answer and the problems were described.
Usually, you can be informed, but you can support racism because the German health insurance system is not a wish concert, that is unharmed.
Good luck!

You’re talking right-wing nonsense. I came to practice with pain. The treatment would also have been free. You could have just drilled and filled the tooth. That would have paid the health insurance.
The doctor didn’t even advise me. No explanation for treatment. You don’t know how the circumstances were, yet you exclude racism – this looks suspiciously like “I’m against migrants being treated more justly and fairer. There is no racism.”
This is a typical attitude of a white privilized person. It is clear that if a blonde Markus had come instead of a Muhammad, it would have been better advised and informed.
I thought you were jumping on it immediately;-)
You should contact your health insurance company and ask what is possible. This can be U. the doctor will cost the cash register if it happens more frequently.
You are an open-minded person and have all the right of the world to inform you on the Internet and at the health insurance fund VOR.
You didn’t.
Because of your own failure to draw the Racism Map is quite lame!
No, it’s a right-wing nonsense. This is the task of the doctor to inform his patients and not “Google”.
No- if a doctor tells me to pay $400, I’ll say “Okay, I’ll get a second opinion!”
And that’s exactly what I would have done. Date with another dentist with a second opinion !
However, those who do not claim this right should not complain.
Come on, you’re dramatizing… in case of acute toothaches, you get an appointment with every dentist…while no problem was to get an appointment immediately with another dentist
I came into practice with toothaches. That was exploited.
