- I'm Scott Kuboff, a dental injury lawyer with the law firm of Ibold & O'Brien. I investigate and prosecute dental claims on behalf of clients who were seriously injured following a dental procedure.
I often get questions from people who had the wrong tooth extracted, and they want to know whether or not they could pursue a claim.
Generally speaking, extracting the wrong tooth is a breach of care. That said, we still have to consider the damage component to determine whether a case merits filing a lawsuit.
Perhaps extracting the wrong wisdom tooth - which causes no further injury and requires no further treatment - is not going to raise to the level to justify filing a lawsuit.
However, if it is one of your anterior teeth (your front teeth). Or if in the case of a juvenile where treatment is then altered or delayed until the minor stops growing. Or if during the wrong extraction, the dentist causes further harm or damage. Maybe in those cases, it would merit pursuing a lawsuit.
Every case is different and it's important to evaluate each case based upon its own facts

I had a wrong tooth extraction a couple days ago. Left the seriously decayed tooth. Left me in pain. Surgeon had referral for 29. He extracted 28! Unbelievable. NC.
Since I am only licensed in OH and PA, I recommend reaching out to a lawyer in your state to determine the merits of your case. Assuming "NC" means North Carolina, try contacting the North Carolina Advocates for Justice (919) 832-1413 as they will be able to refer you to an attorney in your state that handles dental claims.
i thought i was removing my extra tooth but it wasn't and my dentist also didn't guided me what to do now?
I recommend following up with your dentist or obtaining a second opinion for further treatment options. Then contact an attorney in your state to determine your rights.
