Case Description
Three weeks after a broken tooth extration for preparation of a bridge, my gums, cheek and eye are swollen. Also, around the extraction and temporary bridge, my gums are full of puss and swollen. I have returned to my dentist 4 times, the last time to receive penicillum for 10 days (I have been on penicillum for 3 days now). I am extremely concerned about the condition of my gums and also to allow a permanent bridge put on my infected gums. The dentist took an xray and said there is no infection in my teeth and to return to put on my permanent bridge in 2 weeks (which is 1 week from now). What is going on? Who do I call for a second opinion? What do I do about the money I have paid thus far? Thanks.

Are You This Patient?
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.
