Question:

Can accidentally there can be a hole in the ear drum while taking out tooth from the lower jaw end?

actually my mother got a tooth picked out from the mouth an then after some time blood started coming out from ear.when she complained to the doctor who took the teeth out he said that nothing has happened when when she consulted a ear specialist he said that a hole was made while taking out teeth from the mouthnow a case is going on in the consumer court against the dental doctor so i need proof that ear and mouth are connected.PLS HELP ME ITS URGENT


Answers:

I'm not sure why the "ear specialist" would say a hole in the eardrum was made during a tooth extraction. It defies human anatomy. A tooth sitting on the lower jaw is separated from the ear by about 3 inches of solid muscle and bone. A dentist or oral surgeon doesn't go anywhere near the ear during a lower-jaw extraction.

If I were you, I'd take your mother to a board-certified ENT doctor at a teaching hospital for a proper evaluation and treatment.
