Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / September 2005My patient rights.
Help please. I had an extraction last week.A difficult procedure.I felt lucky to keep my head. After following my dentists advice, of pain killers and avoiding touching the area, I finally gave in to the sheer pain nausea and discomfort of the last 4 days , and placed my small finger between the gum and cheek to feel a sharp piece of bone protruding through the gum. My anger at the dentist not checking this after the extraction has made me certain of not returning. But no one will look or consent to treat me.Do I have any rights.I paid privately and yet I seem trapped with no way out. Any info would be gratefully received. > I finally gave in to the sheer pain nausea and discomfort of the last > 4 days , and placed my small finger between the gum and cheek to feel a > sharp > piece of bone protruding through the gum. No big deal. Happens a lot. Sometimes the tissues heal differently than expected and spicule of bone protrudes out. Sometimes, it is a tiny sliver of bone which lost its blood supply (or separated when the tooth came out), and slowly worked its way to the surface. Your dentist should be able to rub some topical anesthetic on it and slide the piece out. Once or twice, I have had sharp corners sticking out after an extraction that I did not expect to be exposed by the healing process. I just numbed the area, touched it lightly with a diamond bur and the tissues grew over it in a matter of hours.  Signature/ Amatus / > Help please.

This seems to be horizontal and away from the cacity itself, the splinter feels to be in two parts, facing towards the jaw hinge. This was a rear molar extraction? Not much room at the back but it impairs closing the jaw. >> I finally gave in to the sheer pain nausea and discomfort of the last >> 4 days , and placed my small finger between the gum and cheek to feel a [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> and yet I seem trapped with no way out.

You said it better, I still think if discomfort exists an exam for a dry socket is in order. I remember taking a few of those out on myself when I had my lower thirds taken out in dental school. My PC crashed before my response could be posted - then too busy to repost and you said it better - as usual.. And I have no doubt this is someone that once received a strange package in the mail one day. ;-) carabelli >>> I finally gave in to the sheer pain nausea and discomfort of the last >>> 4 days , and placed my small finger between the gum and cheek to feel a [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > carabelli I sound like webby - Amatus received..... > My PC crashed before my response could be posted - then too busy to repost >and you said it better - as usual..
