Can anyone advise please
I have currently got eight impacted teeth in my mouth for the top and four at the bottom three years ago I visited my dentist and asked for a referral to have these teeth extracted.
My dentist did not make the referral. After one year I chased the referral and realised it had not been made. I then had to go through the whole process again and have a new x-ray of my head and a new referral made
This referral was not made correctly and now I am in year three. The dentist amongst other things said that I needed seduction various points through the referral letter he had made I found this out because I asked for the letter to be printed that he had written as the referral was getting repeatedly lost within the system according to the administration staff at the dentist I now need to wait at least 41 weeks to be seen by a maxillofacial consultant before they can schedule the surgery
To add to the complications the dentist said that I needed an anaesthetic as I was too nervous for the extraction. This isn't the case and they have been clinically indicated as needing an anaesthetic they are very impacted and my gums are bothering me quite a lot
I am currently having to take Eletriptan at least three times a week for awful migraines my doctor said that the reason I'm having migraines is because of my impacted teeth
I complained to the dentist and contacted pals. The response from the dentist was that English wasn't his first language and that he only works for two out of four weeks so I have to give him some slack basically
I am underweight at 46 kg and I am having to take Eletriptan to combat migraines which were never initially for me in the past is there anywhere I could go to have these teeth extracted privately as I have not seen anywhere online
The dentist referred the complaint to the ombudsman because I actually don't know I spoke to a secretary today at the dentist and I'm waiting for the manager to call me back I have said to the dentist I would like them to cover the cost of me having these teeth extracted privately as they have left me for three years in a dreadful situation I don't know where I can go next can anyone please advise me apologies for typos I have used the microphone for this post as I currently have a dreadful migraine
