Comments on: Should I sue my dentist for his negligence? http://www.empireurbain.com/dental-health-for-kids/should-i-sue-my-dentist-for-his-negligence All about your tooth & health Wed, 05 May 2010 16:06:59 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Meegz66 http://www.empireurbain.com/dental-health-for-kids/should-i-sue-my-dentist-for-his-negligence/comment-page-1#comment-2387 Meegz66 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:54:59 +0000 http://www.empireurbain.com/dental-health-for-kids/should-i-sue-my-dentist-for-his-negligence#comment-2387 Teeth are like bones, and one so small as a three year olds front tooth is tiny. What harm could it do? It will just pass through. Suing the dentist will probably get you no where, you probably signed documents before the procedure saying you waive your right to sue etc. if something goes wrong, and I hardly see it as negligence. I'd be more worried about the condition of your daughters mouth! I have never heard of a three year old with cavities before! What do you feed her? That is terrible! Do you make her brush her teeth? I suggest you start enforcing dental hygiene and put her on a diet! What if these were her adult teeth? Do you want her to wear false teeth at age 6? I am just astonished!<br><b>References : </b><br> Teeth are like bones, and one so small as a three year olds front tooth is tiny. What harm could it do? It will just pass through.

I've had a patient swallow a tooth before as well. If you take out teeth as a dentist, it will happen sooner or later. No ill effects will happen from swallowing a tooth. It will pass. I would be more concerned about why her teeth got to this condition on the first place and concentrate your energies there.<br><b>References : </b><br>Dentist All proper protocols were followed in this case.

Even though it may have been a front tooth, the patient is always leaned back, so gravity could make a slippery tooth go to the back of the mouth. Your daughter will be absolutely fine. It's not like she swallowed a knife! hee hee ;) A three-year old's tooth is tiny and does not have a root so I really believe she will be just fine. Good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br>I'm a dental assistant No you should not sue your dentist.

Digesting a tooth will not have future side effects (babies swallow their baby teeth when they come loose).<br><b>References : </b><br> How can you sue him if he already agreed to pay for the expenses of the incident?
