I just want to say that the lawyers are unhelpful. This is my story. I got five teeth extracted by a substitute dentist. First he was rude by not introducing himself, He did not used a topical, I did not receive my post op instructions and there was no cause in my mouth to allow clotting. He placed my partials on my gums and my teeth were still bleeding. I am a diabetic and he sent me home with no antibiotics and pain medicine. I kept them in until the next day and he took them out. My mouth was bloody and the technician had to clean the blood out of my mouth. My partials were not put back in because my gums were red, swollen and sore. I went back the following Tuesday and my mouth was still red and swollen and sore. On Wednesday I started getting a sore throat. Wednesday night I couldn't cough or swallow. Thursday morning I was in the emergency room. Doctor telling me I have peripheral blood clots, I was treated for pneumonia, then I as told I had COPD. I was admitted on a Thursday and discharged Saturday. I Ave been on estrogen, I am a smoker and I have been on an aspirin for years with no problems. There were changes iinitiated which n the coagulation mechanism of my blood and the bacteria went in the unclogged holes where my teeth used to be.The emergency room never recorded that I had an infection.if you advertise dental malpractice that include infections, wrong or no medication given, or any other negligence, but won't take the case, something us wrong. My PCP told me I almost died.
Thank you for none of your help.
