Attended dental beauty Greenhithe for…
Attended dental beauty Greenhithe for an appointment, and was told I needed a crown, I asked if I could have the tooth filled instead and was told yes but may need a crown in the future. I had the filling done, and had to go back a couple of days later to have the tooth filed down then I noticed I had a lump/ swelling above the filled tooth the dentist claimed she could not feel or see anything, so no action taken, I then went back to her a couple of weeks later as I felt it was getting bigger, and she once again said there was nothing there bearing in mind I had my husband and other family members look and they could see the gum was swollen . I then contacted the dentist again and asked for a second opinion, the dentist I saw then felt exactly what I felt and took x-ray which showed I had two pockets of infection, still no action taken no antibiotics given, I then ended up at an emergency dentist, by that time I had 3 abscess’s my mouth and my mouth was a mess, I was put straight on antibiotics then had to have the tooth out then had to have further antibiotics, I was in so much pain . This was clear negligence it should have been investigated the first visit unfortunately the dentist does not seem to think that she has any responsibility in this matter
