All this happened in USA, not Melbourne, Australia. She has filled out a grievance sheet with her dental insurance company, so we shall see what happens. I’ll keep you posted.

Every once in a while you wonder whether the entire world is full of third world countries.

I can understand how you must feel about your beautiful daughter too. I’d be crying sue the bastard too. He has insurance so she must seek treatment costs and if there is any…I mean any…scarring…she should also seek compensation.

I feel for you too. I hope mushroom soup wasn’t on the menu…Hugs Donna

I grew up with dentists (my Dad was one) and have never heard of such a stupid thing. It was their fault and it’s important to chase up.

I had a similar chair failure at the biggest (not in size, but importance) meeting I ever attended. It was a gentlemanly gesture, the guy next to me said, and he was sure I was fine. I ahd made my big speech and the chair wasn’t there when I went to sit down.

And the advice for your daughter here is wise. She needs to get as much evidence as she can to make sure that she doesn’t get railroaded. Ideally she needs an admission of liability and the dentist paying for the dermatologist’s consult is a good start. I’d advise her to get everything she can in writing and to always take a witness to consultations. If she’s lucky the dentist will accept that he has to pay her costs but if not she then has a body of evidence to work with.

Hugs and sympathy. May the curse be lifted, and that right soon.

As for your poor daughter … that’s disgusting. And I absolutely think she needs to sue on this one. She could be scarred for life, and being on the face that’s disfigurement. That’s huge. And also, this dentist needs a wake up call. He can do it to her, he can do it to a lot of other people. Maybe he already has. Perhaps she needs plastic surgery to undo the damage, in which case … he should pay. At the least I think she should contact the Dental Association and report the malpractice. Is there photo evidence? Has she consulted a medical practitioner who can confirm the injury is in fact a burn, and not an allergic reaction. (what a crock)

You are a peaceable type I know, Glenda. But sometimes, you have to get mad and not take crap. I think this is one of those times.

Keep an eye on the back though. Sometimes problems triggered by a fall like that take a week or two to show up. 😮 (If so, go back to the restaurant with a meat-cleaver to make your point.)

As for your poor daughter – yes, it sounds like one of the dentist’s tools/instruments was to blame. His paying the dermatologist’s bill is a good start. But if it looks like there could be long term scarring then yeah, it probably is an idea to seek legal advice about possible compensation – if only to pay for cosmetic surgery that could help reduce the damage. 😮

Sorry you’re having such a rough time.
