you
get
what
you
pay
for,
right?
How
did
it
happen?
I
found
them
on
this
budget-aggregator
"MyGon"
(Groupon
alternative,
cheap
price
deals
website).
As
my
parents
ever
said
"you
get
what
you
pay
for".
It
couldn't
be
more
real
and
I've
learnt
it
the
hard
way.
What
happened?
One
of
my
premolars/molars
was
starting
to
annoy
me.
Iâve
picked
this
clinic
out
of
this
"hot"
deals
site.
They
ran
a
full
mouth
x-ray
and
the
dentist
spotted
the
cavity.
We
booked
a
second
appointment
to
treat
it.
The
treatment
itself
went
fairly
well,
although
the
dentist
warned
me
that
"your
cavity
has
some
depth
and
I
may
damage
the
nerve
treating
it.
If
that
happens,
we
need
to
devitalise
it".
This
was
undoubtedly
the
quickest
cavity
treatment
I
ever
had
which
sparked
my
attention.
The
next
few
days
were
unusually
painful.
I
was
told
it
was
âokayâ
to
feel
some
discomfort,
however
it
didnât
stop
after
1
week
and
I
called
in
the
clinic
to
have
a
look
at
it.
I
got
a
different
dentist;
after
a
few
pounding
and
sensitivity
tests,
she
told
me
bluntly
"it
needs
to
be
devitalised".
I
said
"How
come?!
The
treatment
was
so
quick,
no
nerve
damage,
how
come
it
needs
to
be
devitalised
now?"
-
she
shrugged
her
shoulders
and
said
"I
didn't
do
your
consultation
or
treatment...".
She
prescribed
some
Bruffen
for
the
inflammation.
After
a
week,
the
pain
was
still
there.
Came
out
of
there
thinking
âI
need
to
get
a
second
opinion
from
a
different
clinicâ
Second
opinion
and
gum
recession
Went
to
a
different
clinic
nearby
and
the
dentist
spotted
a
gum
recession
which
had
my
tooth
nerve
wide
visible
and
exposed
to
pain.
He
told
me
âthat
needs
to
be
covered
urgentlyâ
-
how
could
that
go
completely
unnoticed
by
Medidental
staff?
Back
to
Medidental
Told
the
dentist
about
the
gum
recession
which
she
acknowledged
"indeed,
that
needs
covering.
Hereâs
our
price".
I
replied
perplexed
"how
come
you
didn't
spot
it
when
I
first
came
in?!".
After
a
shrug
of
shoulders
"I
didn't
do
your
consultationâŚâ.
Cavity
filling
fell
off
whilst
eating
cereal
Days
passed,
Sunday
night,
I
was
eating
my
cereal
and
bit
on
something
hard;
spit
all
the
cereals
(sorry
for
the
image)
and
after
rummaging
on
the
chewed
cereals,
found
my
cavity
filling!
(photo
below).
Couldn't
believe
it.
My
treated
tooth
was
WIDE
OPENED
and
simply
breathing
in/out
was
PAINFUL
as
hell.
I
called
up
Medidental:
closed.
I
found
out
this
all
year
round
opened
clinic
that
treated
my
tooth.
Weeks
passed
and
I
donât
feel
any
sensitivity
or
pain,
whatsoever.
Medidental
complaint
and
owner
reply
We
all
make
mistakes,
right?
In
our
daily
jobs,
we
are
not
perfect
and
I'm
no
different
from
anyone
else.
Problem
is:
when
you
make
them,
don't
take
ownership
and
hide,
waiting
for
it
to
go
away.
Firstly,
I
went
back
to
the
clinic
with
the
loose
filling
in
a
tupper
to
make
a
formal
complaint.
"Listen,
I
had
this
cavity
treatment
here,
the
resin
filling
fell
off
a
few
weeks
after.
I
got
it
treated
in
a
random
clinic
on
a
Sunday
night.
They
were
able
to
fix
it
in
2
sessions
and
it
cost
me
145
EURâ.
Receptionist:
âI
canât
make
that
decision,
Iâll
talk
to
the
managerâ
It
took
Filipe
Durao
(the
owner)
1
month
to
approach
me.
His
own
words
âwe
are
sorry
you
werenât
satisfied
with
our
services.â
Could
it
be
a
more
âcopy&paste,
saved
replyâ?
Would
anyone
be
satisfied
with
a
surprise
like
this
in
the
mid
of
the
night?
Why
not
to
admit
the
mistake
and
offer
compensation?
They
did
offer
a
45
EUR
refund
for
the
cavity
treat
I
got
there
and
to
redo
the
treatment;
which
I
kindly
declined,
both.
It
cost
me
145
EUR
to
get
it
fixed
+
all
the
dread
I
went
through
not
even
adding
to
the
bill...
and
they
offered
to
treat
me
after
I
had
treatment
in
another
clinicâŚ
right
:/
I
got
back
to
the
owner
reasoning
why
would
be
fair
getting
a
full
refund.
Itâs
been
a
month
now,
he
hasnât
come
back
to
me.
I'm
getting
back
to
Alcântara
clinic
to
get
at
least
the
45
spent
there.
Disclaimer:
I
had
treatment
and/or
diagnostic
in
Alcântara
&
Campo
de
Ourique
clinics.
