| Wow! Get on the phone w/ that dentist and have him pay for xrays or something to make sure you are okay! That is nuts! I probably would have knocked that lady off me! ((hee,hee)) I hope you get better soon! Definitely call and have it checked out!!!!

| that doesn't make sense why would a assistant just let you lay almost upside down choking? was she so stupid she couldn't tell? mine ask me all the time if i'm ok and if i were gagging and trying to cough or choke something up then they would defiNATELY notice! the impression can be redone i know exactly what your talking about but the only way a piece could have come off is if it was bitten off or they put to much on it and it maybe dripped off? either way why in the world would someone hold a person down who is choking? she had to know something was happening i mean how can you work right in people's faces all day and not know when somethings not right? i would not go back there as the impression will surely be incorrect and a crown will not fit if it wasn't completely set or a piece came off. i would go in or at the very least call and let this "dentist" know what happened!! what if this happens again to someone who can't get up? like a child or elderly person they may actually choke to death!! go elsewhere but let the place know..that assistant should look for a new carear path!

| WOW! You must have been petrified!...........You must have been so frightened knowing something was clearly wrong w/ your ability to breath & no-one was wanting to pay attention . ..... Sometimes as women I think we don't want to make a fuss or cause a scene even when our own safety is a jeopardy.............. I think doctors are so afraid of lawsuits that they don't want to acknowledge when something happens & they hope you just go away. I glad to hear your alright( sort of) it could have been a lot worse... .hopefully it's just some irritation.. don't ever feel foolish to look after your own well-being.....after all if you don't who will

| OH MY I would definately cal the dentist and explain. I had major work done with impressions and by the tgird trip LOUDLY announced the one assistant was NOT allowed to work on me. Sh would pinch my gums til they bled with instruments, gag me with impressions and one THREW an impression across the room when it came out wrong. By the way.. I smack her on the third thing. The dentists asked what happed at the impression smack thing and she screamed I was impossible to work with because i was a baby. The dentist then did it himself with ZERO trouble or discomfort for me!!! You REALLY need to speak up to let a dentist know he has a BAD assistant

| Call Him And Do It Now, And Write Up A Formal Complaint, Or At Least A Staement Of What Happened. They Are Getting Paid So Much Money For This And They Need To Do Their Job, That Is Unaccpetable That They Could Almost Let You Die There By Chocking To Death. And Isnt That Impression Stuff The Stuff They Use To Mold Out Tooth Or Teeth, I Mean Doesnt That Stuff Harden? Its Like Clay I Belive. I Would Call Soon.

| I know it sounds ridiculous, but she seriously acted like she didnt have a clue how serious the choking was. I really dont know how she couldnt have known. SHe saw the stuff go down my throat. I know the dentist made a comment to her while working on me, he said now stay with me now stay with me....I think he was referring to suctioning to her. As jp4m2 said I think I just didnt want to make a big scene, to tell the truth it was shocking and as silly as it sounds I was embarassed too. WHen it was all over, I wanted to forget it. I probably would still forget it but Im having problems now. Not sure if something is stuck at my stomach entrance or what but its starting to feel like it. Im supposed to go to the doctor not tommorrow but the next day. I might need to go tomorrow though. Its really bad when I sit down, like heartburn, but a poking jabbing sensation too. Doesnt really hurt but is uncomfortable. Its scarey because the stuff does harden very quickly and what I swallowed definitely had a sharp edge because it scraped my throat and I had a sore throat from it on the left side for a couple days. You know shouldnt they have suction on when they do anything like that, when there is a chance something can go into a persons throat? SHe didnt use it at all. Should I wait until I get my xrays done to call or before I get them? Im not sure if the xrays will have any evidence of anything since it might just be trauma. Gess 2007 is starting with a big bang for me |

| I think you should call them now, you wouldn't even be going to get any x-ray if not for this incident. How scary for you and it is still scary, not knowing if you have something stuck in you!! Also, like another poster said, what if you hadn't been able to get her off of you, like if you had been a child or an elderly person, when would she have noticed there was a problem...when you quit breathing? She had to have noticed you struggling and to just hold you down...that is ridiculous...you should call now. I hope everything comes out all right!!

| I would definitely have a chat with the dentist in private. My concern is how he blew you off so quick when he asked what happened. He did not seem overly concerned, and his tech did not seem overly bright. If it were me, I would find a new dentist.

| I thought about this thread also yesterday when my daughter got her braces off. I was thinking that they probably did an impression to make her retainer and that got me thinking about this horrible experience. I'd like to know too whatever came of your problem!
