Does Anyone Know Anything About Dental Malpractice?

Charles Engel — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 18:52:11 +0000

I broke a tooth that had a crown on it so I went to the dentist that placed the crown (which was done 2 yrs ago) so he found a paperclip on the back counter and cut a piece of and temperized the tooth in place with this unsanitary paperclip. By the next day I had a horrible infection so he said I needed to get the tooth pulled within the next couple of days. Because of the infection he caused with the paperclip I felt EVERYTHING he did to me………it was so horrifying!!! He even yelled at me for squirming in the chair due to the pain. The worst part is that because I demanded some pain meds he reported me as having a drug problem and because I am a nurse I had to go through a chemical assessment because of his lie!!! Anyone have any thoughts on this? Does it sound like I have a law suit? Are paperclips supposed to be cemented into someones mouth whether sterile or not???
