Help! Dentist from hell?!
Question: Help! Dentist from hell!?
To make a dramatic and fearful story short!. I went to the dentist today!.!.!.had to have 4 teeth extracted!. 2 on top and 2 on bottom on the same side!. I was in alot of pain when I came in!. So he shot me up with lidocaine and waited!. After about 10 min he was about to start and I said I was still in pain!. He said it should be fine!. When he started I could feel everything!. The lidocaine wasn't working!. I started screaming for him to stop and he kept going!. He said it was all in my head!. So I kept screaming!.!.!.he said!.!.!.with blood all over his hands from my mouth!.!.that if I didn't stop screaming and jerking he would send me home!. So because of the fact that I was already with a semi pulled tooth I had to stay!. The next 3 were so painful I was in tears and in fright!. Tell me if this is the norm!. During the time while I was screaming telling him it wasn't working I bit him!. He said to knock it off and that I could hurt myself but not him!. Is there anything I can do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
NO, THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!! Either he didn't give the anesthesia enough time, didn't give enough anesthesia, didn't give anesthesia well, or you were so infected that the infection caused the anesthesia to not work!. This is why we give antibiotics first for infected teeth!. If you are in pain, your dentist shouldn't keep going!! I would get a new dentist!. A tooth extraction shouldn't hurt!. It should be a pinch, then numbness, then some noise and pressure, but NOT pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Wow, I am so sorry you went threw this and I really do feel your pain!.
I had a tooth that wouldn't go numb but it was due to a infection and not from teh dentest not trying to get it numb!
What your dentist did is just not right! My dentist tells you to hold up a finger/hand if you feel any pain, he will stop and give another shot or two of lidocaine!.
I am not sure who you would call,besides a laywer, to do something about this but I would be making some phone calls to see what could be done!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

usually if the patient complaints of pain, one more shot of lignocane should have been administered or a block higher up!. Kick his balls & ask him if it hurts!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't go back and report him to the ADA
