Very Bad Dentist=Malpractice??

Question

I was going to a dentist for about 3 years due to 4 years of not doing so and because of that, I had toothaches. So anyways, I had always had suspicions of this dentist because she never did a good job in installing mercury fillings. I still had remaining spots of cavities that she neglected to drill off. Overtime, she drilled much of my tooth surface until it was hollow inside. Recently my tooth on the side (unfortunately almost at the front) collapsed as I was chewing!!!! It was one of the tooths that had a mercury filling inside. No wonder that dentist office no longer exists. I'm guessing someone had sued her for malpractice and neglecting ppl's teeth because she wanted money for each crappy a** repair.

Answer 1

sue her, then get new teeth with the money

Answer 2

good thing you don't go there anymore, just try to find you an suitable dentist that knows what they are doing, search the web for a professional dentist, again one that knows what they are doing and can back up what they have done.

Answer 3

why did you keep on seeing her for 3 years??

go get another dentist

Answer 4

I would do two things.  First contact the state dental society and file a complaint against her.  Secondly, contact another dentist, and let them exam your teeth, and determine if it was her fault what happened to your tooth.

Lastly, if it was get an attorney and sue her, and get your teeth fixed properly.  That is if she has malpractice insurance.  If she doesnt, do even waste your time on the suit.
