I MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE I'm sharing this because what happened to me was terrible, and I don't want it to happen to you. This is my experience with Dr Savith Siriwardhana (Reg No. 2591). INSHORT DON'T ASSUME GOOD REVIEWS FOR SIMPLE WORK MEAN HE CAN HANDLE EVERYTHING! If you ever choose this dentist, make sure to discuss the treatment thoroughly and get the expected success rate, including timing, in writing. After a complete failure, he cowardly justifies it by saying only 80% of treatments succeed. BACKGROUND My whole family and many people I referred went to him since I moved to Athurugiriya. We went for cleanings, fillings, and other dental work. He seemed professional, kind and caring (That’s not his true identity, don’t fall for it). Around January 2025, I had tooth pain. After several treatments didn't work, he recommended a root canal in June. I had two successful root canals 6 years ago with a different dentist, and they are still perfect, with no problems. But without a second opinion, I just trusted him and agreed immediately. That was the biggest mistake of my life! In June 2025, he started the root canal procedure on my tooth. Two months later, it got badly infected with terrible pain. For the next 6 months, I kept going back, more than 12 VISITS, 6 RE-TREATMENTS and four rounds of antibiotics. Nothing worked. Each time it got worse. Then he finally said it was beyond his control, and I needed to see a specialist. I was devastated. I went to many other dentists to find out what went wrong. Two of them were specialists. Every single dentist clearly explained and said the same thing, the nerve filling was not done successfully, and the infection is still there. The infection is severe because it's been months since the first attempt and it ha reached by bone. This could have even affected my brain if kept more longer. All of them strictly warned me for keeping that infected tooth for months. The chance of saving
