I had a horrible experience involving the sedation dentist Dr. Earl Gaball. I am awfully afraid of dentists and when i found out i would need all my top teeth extracted I began looking for a dentist near me to do the work. Dr. Gaball has a nice clean office not far from my home so I decided to go to him to get my top teeth extracted. He was very nice and personable and his staff was helpful at first.
I got scheduled to have the teeth removed and was given medication to take before I came in the day of the procedure. I sat in the chair and went to sleep. I woke to blinding pain as a needle went through the roof of my mouth. He sewed through the top of my mouth twice more and I passed out from the pain. I went home with a mouth full of false teeth and swollen gums. As time passed the swelling went down and the pain was almost gone. I had shards of bone that worked their way out of the gums for a few months but one that was increasingly persistent in causing me discomfort.
I reported this pain every month and was told the piece of bone had to work its way out. I decided to go to another place and get a second opinion. When I called Dr. Gaballs office after going to another place they acted like I was no longer a priority at all. I needed these dentures realigned and was told it would cost $600. When I mentioned the piece of "bone" errupting from my gums and asked what the Dentist was going to do about it I was informed that I had to get dentures paid for and begin to have them made before the Doctor would do anything about the problem i was having.
At long last (almost a year) I ended up at the local Family Health Center since I was now out of money to pay for dental services. They removed the TOOTH that was errupting through my gum. This tooth although shaved down to 1/3 of its size still had a nerve attatched!! Imagine my surprise when my neighbor and I were talking and it was discovered that she had been through the very same thing with the same dentist!!
I went through quite a bit of unnecessary pain thanks to this Dr. Gaball and his practice of leaving something in my gums in order to assure I would come there to get my dentures made. Because my neighbor had the same thing happen it worries me that many folks will be sucked into his money making machine and endure more sufferering than they need to endure.
