Temporary Crown Due To Be Replaced Today But Have Infection From Dental Negligence. What To Do? Get Another Dentist?

Postby chen12 » Mon Jan 13, 2014 8:54 am

Packing material left in gum. Found and removed by myself two nights ago, along with pus & blood. Referred to as receptionist--will have a diverse doctor(exact same office) today. Not sure I want to go back/spend for negligence.

You do realise that crowns have packing material in them, don't you? You might have very well caused the pus and blood yourself, pulling out something that you should have left alone.   TurboB 11 months ago

well that being the point i think i would want the dentist that created the problem to know what he done bring it to their attention at the same time i would think i would have it corrected just don't go back to the dentist who created it and have the newer dentist take care of the issue but if you seek another dentist i would cause it really isn't fair for the other dentist to be stuck with the other dentist mess up   softbabe44 11 months ago

How do you know the infection came from negligence? And yes, if you have no faith in the current dentist, get another one.   TurboB 11 months ago
