Sp my dad had a wisdom tooth removed a month ago and afterwards it was very painful. The pain was supposed to go away after a few days, but after one month the pain is still there.
Dad looked carefully at the removed tooth area and saw something white and sharp. It was a sharp piece of bone that is causing the pain.
He went back to the dentist and at first the dentist was vague and then admitted that it was bone protuding, He was also rude dismissive and told him “this is what happens what when you don’t take care of your teeth”. (He brushes twice a day with mouthwash since I was a kid). The dentist did not do anything else and said that it will heal on it’s own.
It’s been one month, and the small piece of bone is still painful and makes it hard for him to eat.
He is going to another dentist for another opinion.
Did the original dentist make a mistake and does my dad have a malpractice case?
