Sp my dad had a wisdom tooth removed a month ago and afterwards it was very painful. The pain was supposed to go away after a few days, but after one month the pain is still there.
Dad looked carefully at the removed tooth area and saw something white and sharp. It was a sharp piece of bone that is causing the pain.

He went back to the dentist and at first the dentist was vague and then admitted that it was bone protuding, He was also rude dismissive and told him "this is what happens what when you don't take care of your teeth". (He brushes twice a day with mouthwash since I was a kid). The dentist did not do anything else and said that it will heal on it's own.

It's been one month, and the small piece of bone is still painful and makes it hard for him to eat.
He is going to another dentist for another opinion.

Did the original dentist make a mistake and does my dad have a malpractice case?

I would say your dad should first get the 2nd opinion. If the 2nd dentist doesn't agree with the actions of the first dentist and removes the bone, then we know that it was malpractice.

I am moving this thread to All Views so that you can get some serious replies. I am afraid this thread will not get the attention it deserves if it stays here in cafe. Good luck and I hope your dad gets out of this misery asap

Was your Dad taking any medicine for weak/porous bones (osteopororsis) specially was he taking Fosamax?
