Tooth Was Chipped During Surgery
My front tooth was slightly chipped during surgery. I noticed a few days after I got home. It really wasn't a big deal and figured I'd just live with it. It's been 2 months, and now I noticed. the area where the enamel is missing is starting to change colors.
So, who would I contact regarding this? The surgeon or the hospital?
Probably neither.
I believe you sign a waiver with anesthesia. It tells you teeth can be chipped.
With my back surgery they pinched my lingual nerve and 4 years out one side of my tongue is still slightly numb
Call the dentist.
Also...just in case the dentist could let you know if the chip is in a common spot for surgery patients. If it isnt the I would call your anesthesiologist. If it is it may be the price of the surgery.
