This is what happened firstly a few years ago, the tooth next to my front tooth broke and I was due to go to a wedding the next day so a emergency private dentist put a temporary crown in and said I had to go back to my own dentist and have proper dental work done. I was sent to a specialised dental consultant that provided sedation with dental procedures as I was full of anxiety so sedation was carried out and he performed many dental procedures one of which was to provide a dental crown and metal post to replace the temporary crown I had already in. This was carried out under sedation. For over a year after this dental procedure I kept having continous recurring abscesses and I was provided all different types of antibiotics over the year but still nothing worked. I was advised to go back to the dentist who specialised in sedation and who fitted he crown. He removed more teeth, still in pain and abscesses returned so he referred me to a maxilla facial clinic they removed another tooth, still had more pain and they diagnosed neuralgia. But even after this I could still taste the same horrible taste and I was still in pain so once again I went back to the dentist that provided the initial work and sedation. It was then he said I don't understand what's wrong.mi will look again and it was then he saw a fistula on my gum above the tooth where had fitted the metal crown and post. He asked another two dentist to look at my gum and they confirmed it was a fistula. He immediately sent me fora x ray at another hospital, he called me the next day and said he needed to see me that day. It was at this appointment he said he was so sorry, he should have sent me 2 years ago when I had my first initial visit with him for a X-ray but he didn't. He said he assumed on my first initial visit that I had already had root canal treatment done. However the X-ray showed I didn't have any root canal treatment on this tooth at all and he performed the fitting of the dental crown and post without knowing there had been no root canal treatment done ever on this tooth. Not only that here was a dental metal implement lodge high up in the root canal. Bryanna I have the x rays and I've been told it looks more like a part of a per formed post. I can add the x rays if that's ok for you to have a look at? For over a year I had a crown fitted with a metal post which had no previous root canal treatment and not only that a metal object had been left in which was above the metal crown post that was holding the crown he fitted in. That's why I had a constant infection. When he showed me the x ray and informed me of this he also said if I felt I wanted implants in the future my face would collapse?? Imagine the shock I was in but I just wanted this removed. He said he was unsure he could remove it without a epictomey but even that might not be successful because it was lodged so far up in the root canal. This is why the fistula had formed. Eventually he asked another specialised dentist if he could help him try to remove it whilst I was under sedation, they managed to get it but said they lost it up the dental Hoover when I asked what it was that was lodged in my root canal. Since then that was in 2010 I have been so unwell and haven't been able to work since. I now have a systemic disease called chronic fatigue syndrome, neuralgia, fibromyalgia and it has also affected my heart. I feel so ill all f the time. The crown he fitted fell out and he fitted a temp one, then he left his practice so after two years I still ave this ill fitted temp crown, I can still taste a infection and I also feel I ave a sinus infection. I really am so unwell and desperately need proper dental care and advice.

Thanks
