Case Description
Hi--I had a deep cleaning done at a facility. Immediately following the procesure, I had unilateral swelling, which later on became worse with droopy lips on my left side, swelled temple with crackling sound around the swollen areas when I pressed on them. The swelling and crackling sound spread to my temple and on the side of the head. The dental office would not return my phone call, and when I was finally brought in, they told me it was an ear infection and told me to go to my doctor. Obviously, I don't go to this office and dentist anymore, but I am very frustrated, disappointed and feel violated. How should I address this mishap?

When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

It may have been the syringe they used to numb you nicking a vessel and causing swelling that with time moved to different parts of your face. That could not have been avoided so I would not blame the clinician. However, if it were at my office I would place you on antibiotics and antiinflamtion medicine that will make sure you don''''t develop an infection. If you need me to do an exam call our office on Monday...Sincerely Sepand Hokmabadi
