Question: Can anyone give me advice on reporting a dentist!?
A few days ago I went to the dentist to have some teeth removed!. Once there!.!.!.he knew I was on antibiotics for an infection!. However after applying the numbing agent before removing the teeth, I noticed it wasn't working!. So I mentioned it to him!. He said it should be fine!. He started pulling, I do believe he got one out then the next tooth I felt everything!. I started screaming and crying and he wouldn't stop!. I finally was able to tell him it wasn't numbed right, and he said it's all in your head!. And kept going!. I freaked out, not knowing what to do!. Then after more screaming, he said if you don't stop screaming and jerking I will have to send you home!. They kept pulling my hands down from the doctors!. Once I left not only had I felt more than 2 teeth being pulled, I left with a fat lip!. Who do I call to report him!. Not only that but I think he might of messed up my jaw and another tooth!. Someone please guide me to the right direction!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

contact the state board of dentristy in your state-the american dental association-go to your doctor and have them write up a report and seach the web for a dental malpractice lawyer in your area!. they usually work pro bono!. if you live in the bay area i know a great one!.
also-search your local county website for civil and small claims court records!.
if you have insurance and the insurance company paid for ANY of this-you can also report the dentist to them and very well be reimbursed for what you paid out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
