What is the name of your state? Washington D.C.
I need advice on what steps to take in reference to the following: I went to the dentist for a tooth extraction. After the tooth was extracted, I went home and after a few hours I felt a piece of tooth still in the space where the tooth was taken out. I called the dentist's office the same day to inform them and was told them to come back in. During the next visit, the dentist took another x-ray and found a portion of tooth still impacted and scheduled another appointment for the latter part of the week to remove it. Three days later I still feel pain and my gum is swollen. Now I plan on going to the emergency room to have my gum checked out and receive antibiotics. What, if any, steps can be taken.
