Dental Negligence advise needed.

DaveTheMus

There was negligence here, you neglected your teeth and that resulted in you needing a Dentist to fix the problems caused by your negligence........take better care of your teeth from now on and you won't need any work done at the dentist.......

Forget it and move in. It was a long time ago...

I smashed a tooth playing football. My dentist tried to repair it, and I went back a week later in excruciating pain. Upon rechecking the X-ray, she then decided to pull it out. Two injections later I could still feel everything, so pretty much had to slap her to get her to stop pulling. Another injection, and this time she had her assistant hold me down, then she climbed up on the chair to try and pull it out. Horrific, and I could still feel everything!

Finally she gave up, and I had to get my dad to drive me 25 miles away to a dental surgeon who got the injection right this time, then pulled the darn thing out.

I now have a nice dentist who is much more competent.

Bad experiences are awful, but you just need to find a dentist you trust.

I am intrigued by the wandering milk tooth though.

I am registered with my dentistry since 2007. I attended the surgery on Feb, 20 2008 with Mr. XYZ after receiving a text to book a general appointment. In appointment Mr. XYZ suggested that he can make a new crown for me as current crown didn't seem in good state. As a patient I took professional's advice and attended the surgery on Feb, 27 2008

It was the worst experience I had in my life and I can remember it as a slaughter house. Receptionist was keep phoning in to inform about the other patients waiting and dentist was struggling to take the old crown off. He decided to grind it off and in this process with receptionist pressure he manage to broke both side of my tooth. In the whole process he was asking me question which made me feel that he is not sure what to do next...... It was a lot of blood and discomfort. He carried out a surgery to remove outer side of the teeth root, stitched me, told me everything is fine and asked me to book another appointment. I went out and could feel a sharp teeth in my gum. I came back immediately to inform him about this and he assured me that there is nothing.

I attended the surgery again on Mar, 05 2008 and insisted that I can feel a teeth inside. My gum was infected by now. On insisting Mr. XYZ carried out an x-ray and agreed there is root inside my gum and he will have to refer me to hospital for this. Also he wrote me some antibiotics for the infection. I visited him again on Mar, 12 2008 to remove the stitches for first surgery.

Cut the story short after suffering through all this time I had my surgery done at ABC hospital on May, 01 2008. Words can't explain the discomfort and terrible experience I went through. I lost all my trust in dentists and this has created a dentist phobia. My friends advised me to seek legal advice on basis of professional negligence but the experience have left me not to talk about it or try to remember it.

I haven't visited any dentist since this experience but now I have to because I badly need orthodontist assistance with my milk teeth as it's coming from middle of my mouth after 22 years wondering around somewhere else. This is causing me a lot of discomfort and headaches.

I have discussed this issue with British Orthodontic Society via emails and they advised me "You will need to register with a dentist and then a referral might be possible to a District General Hospital where you may be offered NHS treatment as there appears to be a high need and the problem you have might prove a good training case."

I contacted the surgery and explained above. Surgery Manager advised me to book an appointment with dentist to discuss this matter which i did today and it was waste of time. He charged me £18.50 to just refer me to their Orthodontist and advised next appointment will be £40.

All i want to do is to get referral for NHS district hospital and take legal actions against my dental surgery for negligence but don't have the knowledge or home insurance (renting flat at the moment) to cover legal costs.

Any advise in right direction will be much appreciated.

You are out of time, and wasting your time.

Find a decent dentist, and put it down to experience.

In the great scheme of human suffering, a bad tooth day ranks fairly low....:whistle:

I have never heard of milk teeth going for a wander though, so perhaps you can get on one of these unusual body programmes? :eek:

Well orthodontist has refereed me to NHS due to the nature of problem I am having. It is complicated and may need surgery. I hoping it will get sorted in the end.

If you are unhappy- Do not waste your time to complain. If you want to win real money find legal company that protect patients from medical malpractice. They will assess your case and accuse every dentist that you are visited during the years and you can win big amount of money- up to the money for implants and more.
If you have any doubts, I will show you the reasons:
1. Regulator, General Dental Council (GDC), issued Code of Practice suitable for robots with hundreds points and responsibilities for dentist to do during the treatment, but there are no standard form to feel after the treatment. Using this ‘clever’ Code you can accuse the dentist in everything that he/she missed to write. Approved form for treatment is blank sheet of paper.
If you need for some reason contact details of the dentists, you will find them on the GDC site. Access is unlimited and with no control- possible against Data Protection Act.
2. GDS enforced Dentists to be ‘protected’ by companies that are not regulated by Financial or Legal Ombudsman. Obviously they are not lawyers and they will appreciate your accusation. For example: If you win £100, they will place their own accusation against the dentists, and will steal £1000 from the dentist by increasing their fee.
3. Dentists do not have professional union for real protection. They have been placed in position to pay to organizations above that work mainly against dentists and for their own profit.
4. And do not worry. If you received benefits, it is better- the government will pay your legal expenses. For you is only the profit.
