So this is going to be a kind of long post. Yesterday I went into the dentist to get a cavity refilled because my previous dentist didn’t do it right. So when the dentist had the drill out and was drilling my tooth he accidentally went into my lip. I didn’t notice at first because I was numb, but then I started to feel the pain and screamed “ow!” So the doctor starts apologizing up and down and he feels really bad and he debates giving me stitches. At the time I didn’t know how bad it was because I was numb and I couldn’t feel much. I just told him it was ok and he finished the tooth and I left. Once I got to the car where my husband was I looked at it in the mirror and it’s BAD. It’s a deep hole in my lip and the whole upper part of my mouth was sagging down. I started to cry because it was worse than I thought. My mother is telling me I should sue the dentist and a lot of people I know are saying he should pay for medical expenses. What do you guys think? I’m not the type of person to get mad at someone like that because I know it was an accident but maybe something should be done??

@floralfairy, he’s young, but he’s also my sons dentist and he’s usually really good. My mouth is still really swollen today and hangs down a little 😞

@kharvell18845, your mouth was probably sagging due to the aesthetics but yeah girl, have him pay for the medical expenses and take those pictures. Was it a new dentist or one whose been practicing for years??

@kianna_, I didn’t decline the stitches actually, sorry if I put it like i did in the post, he actually decided it would heal better without them. And i don’t think I’ll sue either. I feel like that would be kind of extreme lol but maybe just have him pay for medical expenses

I think its the least he could do. He caused the issue

@lii94, @owenjacesmama3, thanks for the advice! I think I’ll at least get him to pay for any medical expenses I’ll have

I would see a lawyer at the least & see if it's worth it to sue

I would tell him you're either paying the medical expense or I'll sue you for it and the stress you've put me under 🤷🏻
