Hi group hope there s no dentists here because Im venting.

I had an oral surgeon who removed a canine
eye tooth which you probably know.

A week later I developed a large bony cyst
where she extracted the K9: I went bk and
was told there was nothing wrong. In the
meantime I went for a physical to my pm
care dr. and was told I had an infection at
that site and put me on antibiotics.

Went bk to the oral surgeon and she was
quite upset that my pm care dr. put me
on Cipro..good thing she did.  The cyst
kept getting bigger and hurt when I touched
it .It was almost up to my sinus cavity.

Oh I had a root canal done on this tooth
by another dentist here and was told
IT DIDNT TAKE THE RIGHT WAY AND
NEEDED TO BE REMOVED.

I decided it was time for another opinion
I found another dentist and was told it
was a bony prominence also called it a cyst.
So I had to have surgery to remove the
infection. It took 3 hrs to correct the surgery
which also included botched up surgery
done by the first oral surgeon.

As the new dr was cleaning out the infection
she said what the heck is this; she pulled
out a thornlike blue material and said
it was a foreign body.  She also stated
no one should have to go through this
pain.  First she said it was metal then
for some reason changed her mind when I
mentioned sueing the oral surgeon who messed up.

There is not a thing I can do about this.
No offense but dentist in my particular area
have no expertise.  From all the surgery
I had done I still have bony things on my gums
which hurt and go into my ear.

I dont know how dentists can get away with
their mistakes.

Okay any comments good or bad...Nothing
against any drs on this discussion group
Im sure there are good ones here.

Has anyone ever heard of such a thing.

Celestia...sorry needed to vent!!!!

Happy holidays

I suspect a large fragment of the alveolus (bone) broke away from the
rest of the jaw.

Now I am confused .....

This wall all before the tooth removal and is another issue, right?

When having surgery stick with one surgeon. When cooking dinner stick
with one chef or cook. It works out best.

I am not yet convinced this was not a completely normal dry socket or
other uncontrollable sequelae.

They shoud (and you should INSIST) it be send to a lab to find exactly what it

No need to be sorry to vent, you have every right.

Good Luck and seasons greetings to you and yours.

Yes, this is good advice. Anything removed from the body should be properly
identified.

Good call Jan...and happy holidays!

YUP, unless its still in the body or its still inside the tooth, then
Jan, leave it alone!

Sounds like a vertically fractured root to me.
Can be very hard to diagnose.

BTW 'Vicryl' a suture material is blue.

If there is still a problem requiring surgery you may want to try more
advanced
imaging such as a spiral ct (dentascan) or MRI and have it read by an
experienced
radiologist. CT is a fair amout of radiation and MRI is better for soft
tissue. Panorex
and routine x-rays miss a lot. Just a suggestion, I am not a dentist.

This is a good place to come and yell at dentists, however it sounds
like your
argument is with your oral surgeon.
