xPink.Pixel.Princessx 0 Posted January 1, 2011 So this is the 3rd time now that this has happend and im getting really angry with it.The dentist i go to is the Bhandal dentist practice in Cradley Heath (Lisa may know where that is)Anyways i go there because they do sedation...not very good sedation because i was awake through the whole process and heard them talking and i could feel what they were doing!So anyways 1st time i went i had to have a root canal which i was totally asleep for and cant remember a thing!. Then had to go back cause the cap they had put over the tooth came off!So that was the 1st.Then had to go back because the cap wasnt fitted properly and it was giving me really bad pain. And then 3rd time i had to go back cause i had to have yet another root canal done and some filling.....while i was under sedation...I woke up a 1/4 way through and was totally in pain with them drilling etc...they didnt bother putting me back to sleep with the injection. They decided to leave the injection in my arm (Like the cap type) and then i felt one of the dentists knock my arm....the needle came out and then went back into a different spot on my arm. They just laughed it off and took the needle back out and put it back into my nerve =/ .....But this time the root canal isnt the problem. the fillings are.one of my fillings have come out AGAIN! and now the tooth has a gaping hole in it and is exposing the nerve!!Now i know this is not good but iv packed the tooth with cotton wool so it doesnt get any food in there... and also keeps the cold out to an extant.Im in total pain right now and my body feels like a chemist from all the painkillers i have taken!Iv had enough and im NOT going back to that dentist! I refuse to!So now! I want to report them and go to a private dental practice and get my teeth done properly at THEIR expence.So my question is....Hot do i report them? cause this is rediculous.Im in so much pain now and cant get anyting done till Monday!

Lucky Strike 0 Posted January 3, 2011 My advise would be to go to a lawyer OR an advisor (i don't know how these advisors are named in other countries) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xPink.Pixel.Princessx 0 Posted January 4, 2011 Iv have found a site on how to report them. Being as tho they are not listening to me when i take the problem up with them then there is no point in talking with them again.Iv filed a report to the NHS and im also going to send the dentist a letter so they can see what im going to be doing.I still havent had my tooth done now and iv had to stick out 3 days with the nerve being exposed =(.I was on the phone to NHS direct which is where you can phone if you need help with health issues and they say i will have an abscess which iv had before and i didnt catch it in time and my face swole up like a balloon...Serious =/.Im deffinatly taking them to court tho because they have ruined my teeth and iv had enought. Something needs to be done about them to stop them doing this to other people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky Strike 0 Posted January 4, 2011 Please remember that things like that take time... What you can do till then is go to another doc till the court sorts it self and have them pay the cost and try even for all the frustration and further damage.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xPink.Pixel.Princessx 0 Posted January 4, 2011 Yeh i know that =)I v got an emergency appointment today at my dentist in my town so hopefully they sort it all out. I hate the dentist and i know they are going to want to give me a needle to do the filling but no thank you haha. Im just going to tell them to do the work without the needle...I know its going to be really painful but i hate needles to the point that ill pass out if i see it come anywhere near me =/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smorkle 0 Posted January 4, 2011 i wish you the best of luck hun.the medical system in your country is so different from mine here in the US, that i have no idea.usually if we don't like something someone is doing here, we report them to the medical board ...or we sue them! ba ha ha ah LOL!!! then we go to whoever we want to because our insurance is different here but i know you guys have a whole different system...???best of luck with your fillings hun. i'm sorry you are in so much pain.

Tiddly Winks 0 Posted January 4, 2011 I'd go to the emergency room and have a doctor look at it asap. There's no point in being in so much pain. If you haven't gone, then go. There's probably a Dental association that you can contact, as well as a lawyer. This is pretty intense malpractice if I ever heard it. But, do go to the ER. Your insurence should cover it, and then you would have records of something being wrong to present to a lawyer.Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
