Ds(almost 5 and ND) broke a back molar and had a SS crown put on. While the dentist had him in the back(we were not allowed to be with him) she put an additional 3 fucking crowns on without our permission. I didn't notice this until we got home, as when I saw ds after the work was done he was in a lot of pain so I was more concerned with comforting him than inspecting the work the dentist did. I did check his mouth once we got home and settled and I was furious. Gums were a bloody mess. 3 unapproved crowns(I stayed in the waiting room the entire time, she had every opportunity to come tell me if he needed additional crowns. She had specifically said beforehand he wouldnt need anything else done, as the other teeth looked great) I cleaned his teeth with wet gauze the next few days, and as the goop the dentist put on his gums cleared away, I noticed 3 out of 4 crowns have gum recession. The broken tooth is the worst, with the gum on the inside almost completely receded. I have not called the dentist, as I'm not sure if I should contact a lawyer first before talking to them. Everything I've read says that he will need a gum graft, which is a horror show in itself to think of putting him through that. I'm just at a loss that a dentist can just "decide" to do unauthorized work on your child. I do not want her to even be in the same room as my child, let alone to try to fix what she's done. I am waiting on a call back from the local(different)dentist to have him looked at to see what her opinion is.
Yabu-call the dentist that did the work
Yanbu-call the lawyer
