Hi
My name is Juan, i'm 28 and i'm from South Africa
In April 2019 i went for a root canal procedure at a local dentist,
which lead to two surgeries which was not covered by a medical aid,
and the dentist denied any fault on his side, and declined my polite
request to assist with the 2nd surgery cost.
As a result jaw
bone had to be removed and i lost a few teeth leaving my bottom right
gum line and i'm only 28.
Before the 2nd surgery to cut out
affected jawbone, numerous tests were done to see if there are any
underlining factors that may be igniting the infection. and i was told
i was just that unlucky that it got to a point where a piece of my
jawbone had to be removed.
Which is not true as the initial
infection was left to long, to a point that it became life
threatening, i got booked for emergency surgery by a specialist the
day after i saw the dentist (here's a prescription, come back in a few
days.), not handled and not treated correctly by the dentist.
the
day after i saw the dentist i took the initiative to go see a General
practitioner , which refereed me to a dental specialist which booked
me in for emergency surgery that same day. how can a normal GP see how
serious it was and the dentist not? if i didn't go see the GP and i
followed to the dentists advise i might not be sitting here
today.
Before the root canal life was great, i was happy, never
been to hospital or never had any surgeries, immediately after the
simple root canal my life changed, went through a mental nightmare and
suffered for 5 straight month trying to recover, this effected my
life, my work, relationships and put me in a financial hole.
I've
seeked legal advise and i'm unable to take any legal actions as i can
not afford this.
My goal is to get teeth implants and hopefully
take legal action.
To take a stand against people that don't care
how their actions effect other people's lives.
