my husband has had a sore tooth for a while now and finally today a dentist came to the nursing post so he made an appointment and went in to have the tooth removed.
everything went well at first then the dentist tried to pull the tooth, Jeff said this took a long time and the dentist had to use all his weight to remove the tooth, before the tooth came loose Jeff heard a crack that sounded like it came from somewhere under his gum but not where the tooth was, then after the tooth was removed he felt the dentist trying to push something near where the tooth was, like he was trying to push something back in place.
when Jeff got home and the anaseptic wore off, the area under his tooth started to ache so he looked in the mirror and the gum around the missing tooth is out of place, like it's been wrenched out, it's really painful for him and compared to the other side of his mouth it's very noticable, when i had a tooth pulled the dentist said if he couldn't do it i'd have to go to hospital but it seems like this dentist just went ahead regardless of the consiquenses.
now Jeff's gum looks like it's dislocated and it's definately not just swollen, what can we do about this? it's also really painful and neither of us has had this type of thing happen before.
thanks
