Hello:
I saw in the news about the teenager that died from her surgery on wisdom teeth. It made me so mad. I wanted to tell you what happened to me.
I went Dr. James Holley in Virginia Beach, VA. for a small cavity and some cosmetic repair with a crown.
When he did the cavity he said I had another cavity that needed a root canal. I had a seizure in the chair and could not move or speak, he continued with the procedure. I heard his dental assistant say '”don't you think you should stop” and he said, “I have given her more than enough”. When I was finally able to speak he told me seizures was normal for some patients.
He told his assistant to finished the filling and I asked her, “are you trained to finish root canal fillings.” She replied, “Sort of, he lets us do it and than he checks it.” It was not a permanent filling, it was a temporary filling.
Because it was in the back I didn't see the infection growing. I woke up one day and there was a pimple above my front tooth. I went back to him and he said an infection was in the membranes and I had to see a endocrinologist.
