Fiance told the dentist she wanted the tooth pulled… they did a root canal without permission

r/

So we just got back from the dentist where my fiance had her wisdom teeth pulled and one root canal. She and I both told the nurse and dentist to just pull the tooth as money is tight. They went ahead and did the root canal and charged me over 4k for it. What recourse do we have?

    They didn’t have you sign anything before doing it?

    What did she do/say when they came at her mouth with a drill instead of a pair of pliers? A root canal is like a 40 minute procedure. Did she just sit there the whole time?
