Dad Has Bad Teeth, Why Don't Dentists Own Up To Mistakes

Kinda frustrated
Kinda worried
Kinda scared

Dad had scary hives on arms and legs

Dad had horrible teeth pain
Upper and lower

Dermatologist said hives caused
Probably by Dental infection

Prescribed antibiotic A

Dentist said wisdom tooth 16 is loose
And yanked it out

Yanked it out

Dad still had teeth pains
Several days later

Dad saw Dentist
who said:
I was confusing
He didn't break Dad's jaw

Just very very defensive

He told Dad to stop Antiobitic A
Start Antibiotic B
For a week

For a week

Confirmed with Dermatologist and
He said it was Ok

Zero hives for Dad
Nice clear skin for Dad

But painful teeth

Painful teeth

Dentist was on
Vacation

A young lady who:
Claims she is Dentist
Doesn't have business card
Didn't give her full name says:

Dad has gum disease

Gum disease


To slow
To stop
To reverse

Clean, floss, waterpik

Okay, okay

But now my Dad's teeth

Is paining like before

Asking Dad to get second opinion
A from another Dentist

But it's so hard for him to travel
He doesn't want me to drive him

Plus he says this dentist is:
a block away
best dentist he's ever been to

PS: My Dad didn't see dentist till he was 18, has lots of crowns and gold fillings


I am feeling frustrated and upset

It is Human to make mistake but please rectify it. We wish for Dad's good health.

That's all.

 

As of this morning Dad says teeth is feeling much better.

Not 100% pain-free, but at least step in right direction.

Keeping fingers and toes crossed!

Hope it improves and we have decent working relationship with Dentist.
