a few months ago I went to a new dentist to get a check up. I had cavities. My dentist saw a cavity that i had that his fellow dentist needed to do for an exam at a dentistry school...i went to the school and the cavity that i was going there to get filled was a small cavity. well, the dentist that did the exam on me got the ok to do a different cavity instead. he took for ever just drilling away at my tooth...and then the novacaine started to wear off and it hurt every bad like he was drilling at my nerve. the examiners checked it after he was done and it hurts as they checked it. they let him fill it. then after made him take the filling out and put a temp in and the main examiner told me to go to my dentist and they would fill it for free. so went to my normal dentist and he put a permanent filling in it and sent me on my way. after that it was very sensitive to hot and cold and even to something as simple as the wind hitting in as i walked and talked. i thought nothing of it because its normal to be sensitive after a filling. but recently i started to have unbearable pain on the one side of my mouth and it just got worse. then i went to a new dentist and she took x-rays and said that my tooth is dying and i need a root canal. i spent 1200 dollars out of my own pocket on something that could have been prevented if they did their job the right way.
can i sue?
