I never heard of taking nine teeth out without medication or an overnight something sounds strange my mom died from no nurses and care for her broken arm which I believed killed her the stay at services they took were terrible. After my moms death my brother went through visiting angels for care for my dad they are the best the nurse even played music for my dad i just think they were heaven sent but it could’ve been better if we had them sooner for my mom I was surprised my brother didn’t take the hospital to court for suggested to wait to have the wrist looked at on Monday she was really in pain on Saturday and I never seen my mom in so much pain I knew she was dying and she suffered without medication to ease the pain it was terrible the way mom died I don’t think I can forget cancer is not worse for someone old just going without a doctor or hospital care can be frightening to watch your love one die.
Exactly. Infection already there needs treating. Just swilling with mouthwash won't touch it. Disgusting breach of their legal 'duty of care' by both the Dentist & A& E.
This is why I tell people, DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!!.If your doctor isn't listening, find one who will immediately. Only you know your self and your family, and you have to be your health advocate.
Yes. One person could've changed this scenario; a nurse questioning, wife appropriately demanding answers, etc. If he was very sick he needed someone advocating for him since the Doctor didn't catch the oral issues?
People forget doctors work FOR you. You pay them! If they don't want to do a thing, tell them to write that on your profile and print it for your files and then schedule with a new doctor (preferably at a different hospital as they may say something to the next doc tht sees you)
With any tooth removal due to it being rotten and infected, the patient should be given antibiotics. He had nine teeth removed in one go. Barbaric. Their "best practices" need to be sued into the dark ages where they belong.
@ char west. So taking out 9 teeth in one sitting is barbaric? Actually this is done quite frequently and and has been for years. Barbaric would be taking out one tooth at a time , nine times.
@@toothrestorer6588 Yes, dental students yanking out 9 adult teeth in one sitting, especially without follow up antibiotics, is absolutely barbaric and uncivilized. They caused his DEATH!! What more proof of barbarism do you need.
@@KeyLayProductions absolutely!! They should of given it to him before!! They murdered him! Anyone with that many infected teeth! Come on! Better safe than dead!!
@@jimcook2715 I know it's unlikely, but I was going for a medicine as common, cheap and "boring" as aspirin to highlight how much of a travesty this is. In other words, they didn't have to give him anything "exotic" or heavy-duty and it still would have done more than nothing at all.
Yeah. I've never not gotten antibiotics for dental work like teeth pulled. I just had work done and they gave me anti biotics before then told me to continue after and if I had any more symptoms of the infection continuing to come back. Antibiotics are not addicting so I don't get why they didn't give the guy antibiotics.
They’re prescribed before oral surgery for those with pre existing health conditions, usually heart conditions, Strep A travels, creates endocarditis, or valve regurgitation, more specifically I think the tricuspid & bicuspid Pneumonia has nothing to do with the dental work. So as far the legality As as the college goes, they aren’t going to have a man’s medical records except for dental & only his dental records if he previously had work done there His history of addiction would depend on how honest he was filling out the application
9 teeth pulled...no antibiotics, no pain meds, no nothing. WOW they really screwed him over. They should've taken extra precautions with him considering the state his teeth were already in.
This is a lawsuit for sure. As a dental hygienist I cannot understand why they would send this man home after extracting 9 teeth that were clearly so decayed they needed to be removed instead of restored. There was infection without a doubt and I don’t even need to see his radiographs or clinical exam.
Penny wise and pound foolish over standard antibiotics. Shameful. I have been subjected to similar treatment in my lifetime. Pooh pooh on my questions. Short shrift on important things. Thank the Lord i have had a strong immune system and fortitude.
I had the same thing happen to me. Woke up to a dead husband. Not from infection but brain anurysm. I heard the fear & pain in her cries. I cried for her. I so feel her pain. My husband was 39, me 37 with young kids. Worst day of my life! It'll be 24 years next month he's been gone & still feels like yesterday. Praying for his wife & child in Jesus's name for peace & comfort in these hard times.❤❤
I'm so very sorry for your loss my sister. I'm praying for you and your family. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult this is for you. But please know that God our Father hears your cries and he hears your prayers period never stop believing in Him
@@JohnnyEnrico There's precedence for challenging waivers...for instance, when an injury or death is due to truly egregious neglect or serious deviation from acceptable standards.
@@rebeccaoprea9917 I agree. Also, as long as he had life, he still had a chance to do better. Their negligence, their sheer neglect and lack of concern took that chance away along with his life. I think they should mount a legal challenge if they could get a lawyer to take it on. A waiver was never meant to give someone license for wanton disregard and criminal negligence and there is precedence for seeking redress through a civil suit.
@@rebeccaoprea9917 You don't know what kind of dad he was before he died. He may have went through a period of his life on drugs, that doesn't mean he was okay with drugs. Addictions can happen, hope you or someone very close to you doesn't get addicted. If it happens, you may change your tune.
Pain control is available OTC. He was certainly told that and also to return if any problems by the dental school. This is the standard procedure bin the dental schools I am familiar with. If he had more odor that usual in his mouth, it would most likely be from alveolar osteitis or what is commonly known as a dry socket which generally is not an infection but a delayed healing process where the clot comes out or doesn’t form. It is most common In smokers. It is treated with medicated packing, not narcotics
He’s dead because of the hospital. They were the last line of defense. In my experience people that are known or suspected of substances abuse are treated differently. Especially when there’s not insurance
That is true, but a simple course of antibiotics probably would have prevented his death. And the school should have put him on antibiotics BEFORE the surgery.
This happen to my father at a local hospital went to the ER complaining about a bad tooth ache and flu like symptoms treated for the flu symptoms but not the infection he died later that night
They are absolutely. I know from personal experience. I almost died bc I was treated horribly and accused of taking drugs when I was a year clean. I took a vitamin called 5HTP and I had a bad reaction and was basically dying and my body was shutting down and they didn’t give me any medical attention until like two hours later I legit sat in a hall way they didn’t even give me a bed . They treated me so bad I am traumatized from it .
His death was not his fault. It was deffo the university hospital. I went to a university hospital once,and it was rough. You are a learning tool for them but when it is that serious? Yeah,professionals with years of experience and a sense of a brain,should have been there for him. Just broke my heart when she was screaming his name.
so many people failed this family. They should all be held accountable for their loss. this is horrendous. I pray this family finds the justice and peace they so grateful deserve.
It sure is. I'm glad you sa I d this. One infected tooth can kill a person. I pray that she gets a big settlement. A daughter without her Daddy. Criminal! Soo sad!!!😵🙏
Absolutely correct. It sound to me like he had gum disease also which can kill you. This was a total screw up. He need antibiotics to start and sent to an ORAL SURGEON!!!
It's the only way a lot of people can afford to get dental care and alot of times even then it's an expense that can put a strain on a lower income household.
The students don't do anything without supervision so they actually had nothing to do with his death. It is the attending physician who was negligent at both the dental office and the emergency room. Having been a medical student I know firsthand you don't do anything without supervision.
This is why people get second opinions. You can’t even trust the experts in this world. They treat you like you’re in line at the DMV and tell you things just to get you out of there. RIP
Doubt it. The problem with using a student dental office is that you are signing a waiver. You think this is the first time they have made a mistake? Please. All of their patients are poor, they can get away with murder... literally.
@@hotcrazycatladyme168 You're right that a waiver would have been signed. However, that does not preclude the family of the victim from filing a lawsuit.
Even if you're not using a student dental office, it's almost impossible to sue a dentist. In any other profession, the man who destroyed my face and took so much out of me emotionally and out of my family financially could lose his license to practice; however, he was a dentist, so he just got paid. There's a special place in Hell
Ok, I’m going to disagree -with the caveat that I’m sure there are many competent dentists in Mexico, but I personally had 8 teeth removed in one appointment including wisdom teeth, one of which had to be broken and removed in pieces, and I was sent home in shock and without pain meds or antibiotics. I was very lucky that I didn’t get sick.
@@rebecculousrk did you have an infection or something prior to the removal? The problem here is that this man had to take antibiotics before his procedure to prevent infection on his open wounds after they were removed. Edit: I've realized that you most likely had your teeth removed because you did have a bacterial problem, so yeah you were lucky!
You’re absolutely right, and pulling nine at one time I’m pretty sure isn’t the right choice. Never heard of any dentist doing that.. maybe 3, 3, and 3.... And no meds...????? Insane! Poor guy and his poor family. RIP. 🙏🏻
Absolutely. I know a girl who had a lot of teeth pulled after overcoming her addictions and they made her take a round of antibiotics before they would do her extractions. This was criminal negligence.
Ughhh.... To hear her say she thought he was joking, takes me back to the night my own Father died from a sudden massive heart attack. My Mother thought the same thing for a split second, because he was a very comical person, but unfortunately he was already dead. 💔
there have been a couple times where my boyfriend of 8 months would pretend to have a heart attack and die and as someone who is super anxious and on edge almost 24/7 its never funny to me. he'll pop back up laughing and not understand that i am genuinely worried until he sees my face and i just hope he understands it now. i had a parent die when i was extremely young and my other parent has been sick for the past year so the death of a loved one is always something I'm worried about. i hope you and your mother have been doing well ❤️
@@citrus7745 That's horrible, knowing that you also have a parent who passed away when you were younger. SERIOUSLY??? WTF? I hope he gets the picture and _NEVER_ does that. I would be furious if somebody pretended to have a heart attack, since my own Father died of one when I was 20. *NOT... OKAY...* I really hope he stops that awful "pretending," and doesn't do it again. Take Care! ❤️
They should have prescribed antibiotics before the teeth pulling cause the bacteria spread faster when any cut is exposed. In the old days most people died of abscess in the mouth from rotting teeth.
@desiree bailey agreed. Shame on them. Yes, he was on opiods, ok prescribe 800 mg. Ibuprofen, Tramadol, Naprosyn, any NSAID would have worked and 500 mg. of Keflex , Erythromycin, even good old Penicillin. poor family.
Yes, when I had an infection in my tooth I had antibiotics for a week prior to the extraction and 2 weeks (maybe 10 days) after. I can't imagine how much pain this man was in. Unbelievable and devastating that any human would seek help and be let down by multiple healthcare. I pray they get justice.
@@LisaNagra Why prescribe 800mg Motrin? Ibuprofen is available OTC. Equivalent pain control to Vicodin, can be be achieved alternating 400mg Ibuprofen and 500mg acetaminophen every 3 hours so they are each taken every 6 hours Of course there is a good chance this was suggested.
Why wouldnt they give him antibiotics? Theres no reason. It doesnt make sense. Opiode drug use or past use has no baring on antibiotics. This is a disgrace
@@lenitaa7938 one would think so, but I had some work done at Tufts dental school in Boston. They told me their instructors are not practicing dentists and cannot give prescriptions when I asked for one after a student caught my cheek with his drill. It tore most of the skin off all the way to my gumline and it was *very* painful.
@@Faesharlyn It is not legal for the instructor not to be licensed. All work has to be done under the supervision of a licensed dentist. Without a licensed dentist supervising, it would be in violation of the state’s practice act and would also prevent the school from being accredited. Perhaps you misunderstood. The instructor, technically would not have to possess a DEA registration allowing him/her from prescribing a controlled substance.
My sister died on January 28, 2019. Her name was Mitzi. She went to a dental school and had many teeth pulled at once. Her teeth were bad. She was only sent home with oxycontin. She became very sick and talked out of her head. Called mom and said she was seeing demons. My Dad 86 found her the next morning dead. No autopsy was done, to save our parents from knowing it may have been an OD because of her pain. My mom died shortly after her from grief among other things. Dad never really spoke again. Now he lays in the same room mom died in empty no communication. We pray each day that they will be joined again soon. I don't know why this video posted on my feed. Maybe it's God's way of relieving my heart and mind.

This is why we need a system where people can actually get access to affordable dental care that’s covered by insurance instead of being being test subjects.
Or perhaps the University needs better protocol than what's currently in place. Seeing as this is a (Uni) dental school, the students would have to gain experience treating real people, and this whole thing could have been avoided had they issued antibiotics.
@Faith Jones, best comment in this whole thread. It all boils down to affordable healthcare, and dental IS healthcare. Healthcare should not be a luxury, it is a necessity, a basic human need that should be available to all.
@ Faith Jones. Where do you think students get the experience before they graduate? And who do you think provides a lot of the care in the nation’s teaching hospitals? Many of which are rated as the best hospitals?
Similar circumstance happened to me. The 3rd doctor I saw nearly fell out of his chair. He admitted me and gave me a concoction of I.V antibiotics. It saved my life.

The only 2 times that I had 2 teeth removed that were infected, i was given an antibiotic before those teeth were taken out. Even my dentist said that there was no way that he would remove them until he was positive that the infection was gone.
Yes, because the infection can go blood born/systemic. There are many anti vaccine people in Utah and I suspect that is who works in their hospital. Their Risk Management Team really needs to do true diligence and give this poor woman a huge settlement for a malpractice that led to this patient’s murder. Because that is what is is.
@EffYour Feelings what do I think ‘THAT IS’ / ‘you cannot sue because Pharmaceutical drug companies are not held liable for any harm their drugs cause’... ‘I’ sound a little more than confused and misguided because my fake news programming? I better wake up before it’s too late for me? I am simply saying, it would behoove someone to look into the background of those who this man came in contact with medically, *as I have experienced a mentality amongst medical care workers who subscribe to the faulted | erroneous anti vaccination movement as malpractice. That is all. Also, 1) Pharmaceutical Companies are sued | in litigation constantly for the harm their drugs cause because the pharmaceutical companies AND medical care providers ARE actually, legally liable to injuring patients 2) I do not watch news and haven’t for over a year because I don’t have a TV and my internet is often down so I rely on first hand information from the field itself through experience 3) I myself have been on antibiotics for going into 2 years for a systemic infection I contracted in 2018 and had it not been for the antibiotics, I would have gotten VERY VERY sick, possibly losing a limb or organ failure so I am not ‘allowed’ to even have any dental work done until my systemic infection clears up because the mouth to bloodstream barrier compromise is extremely, extremely dangerous for your heart and lungs~most medical professionals are aware of this and REQUIRE IV antibiotics pre, during and post surgical inventions of the teeth/mouth. The bottom line is, what happened to this poor man *causing immense, heart wrenching suffering to his beautiful wife and little one, is called malpractice and as part of discovery, you bet your sweet conspiracy subscribing self, I would be into every single med personnel that man came in contact with and finding out if they subscribed to the proven wrong anti vaccination fantasies that seem to co exist with this idea that humans don’t need antibiotics because our I mu e systems should be suffice to fight off infections. Just to let you know, Andrew Wakefield was *(I say was because he went to prison and is no longer a Dr), came up with the dog and horse show that vaccinations were bad, to promote HIS vaccinations series-all to make him a billionaire. He lied. He falsified date and he not only went to prison but lost his license to practice medicine not just in the UK but globally...he has public ally denounced his series of lies and explained he did it to sell his own vaccine and was terribly wrong and sorry. Sadly, even HIS recant of his greedy lie, will not undo, the massive amounted damage globally, his falsification of data to profit has done. Take care. Sending love.
As a 33 year old man recovering from being a opioid junky 8 years 6 months clean n sober my heart goes out to this family. 5 years ago I was hit by a 18 wheeler and lost 22 teeth instantly broke my jaw and hip plus my ribs and other injury's. Losing my smile was the hardest thing I ever been through and I feel his pain. Hopefully I'll get my life back soon and most importantly get my smile back. Getting back to this man ever single time I been to the dentist and had work done antibiotics were always giving even before hand. This should have never happened. Nothing will bring him back but hopefully you get something to help you raise your kid with. Godspeed my friend. And God bless you and your family I'm praying for you.
Peter Lightening. Swelling is not always indicative of infection. What was described by the physician could easily be normal post surgical swelling since it was a few days after the extractions
But it's not just swelling... She said his mouth smells of rot, and it was white and yellow... Plain inflammation doesn't look like that. That school needs to be held responsible.
@@kpepperl319 Actually what she described is a textbook presentation of a dry socket. The odor is worse that an infection and the pain is extreme. The sockets also have a yellowish white appearance
Back in the 70's I had a student friend who went to the dental college for a tooth extraction. She, out of fear I think, asked them every question she could think of before she made that appointment. They patiently answered all of her questions, and then set up an appointment. She told me, just as she had been reassured over the phone, only students in their last three months of dental school were allowed to do any dental work, (teeth cleaning being the one exception), without the close supervision and assistance of the licensed DVM..or also known in dental school as, the teacher. If, at this school here in Utah, ''we did the best based on what we know'', is their response, it seems to me the teacher(s) who assisted should be fired, because it's obvious even to a layman that antibiotics should have been given...prior to the many extractions. Sadly, at these schools, heck, even at your doctors these days, in order to receive treatment you're required to sign papers releasing them from any legal responsibility. If you go to the ER, the first thing, before even being seen by a doctor, you've got to give your signature releasing them from any responsibility. I pray this family has an attorney that can find some loophole because that old adage still holds true, ''if you're needing something to be changed, only hitting them in the pocketbook will do that''. God bless this mans family, and all who loved, and liked him. I know he is sorely missed. To have conquered his addictions...I'm proud of him and thankful, by Gods grace he was able to do it.
That's such a b.s. excuse those students are observed by a real licensed dentist! They're not teaching themselves! Also, I've had teeth pulled after car accidents and they took scans of my jaw to make sure of no infection in the jaw & Also to check the stability of the surrounding bones. I'm also wondering what the after plan was? Implants, dentures, flipper? The integrity of the bone & surrounding teeth matter in this decision therefore it's all neglect.
@@auhbreykumming4429 The plan was probably a denture of partial denture due to his finances one would assume. The bone will heal itself to whatever level without a bone graft but if he was not a candidate because of finances or being a heavy smoker, that is immaterial in this case. Oftentimes teeth are taken out because they are causing pain and are not restorable without a plan of restoration because that is what is needed.
Just think, if this happened in the last couple of months, it would be labeled a Covid death and swept under the rug. I hope this family hires help to investigate the dental school
I've had several implants done and teeth pulled as well and you always take antibiotics 24 hours before any work is done. And he should have never had that many teeth pulled at one time.
*What’s crazy is* I haven’t went to the dentist in three years I just brush my teeth regularly with toothpaste that contains fluoride, I don’t feel pain in my teeth.
What kind of brain dead moron says something like this? How stupid can you be your statement is outlandish and ridiculous you should be ashamed of yourself

@KATY MAKROPOULOS all records including what the actual dentist that's supposed to be there in the room when students are working on a guinea pig. Like how many teaching dentists per students ratio How many total patients were in a chair being worked on at the time of this poor guys procedure and all their performance records from day one, grades and any records of their mental health possibly an IQ test to determine if the students are or are not mentally deficient/retarded
@@rickcruz3382 I’m not sure what you mean by retarded but many people find that term offensive. Dental school is actually quite competitive to get into. Based n your comment, that label may actually apply to you.
@@valeriewilliams1103 Really? Antibiotics are given for every dental procedure? On what planet? Antibiotics are given for certain procedures on certain patients in certain circumstances. Of the 23 that I saw today, only one was. That person had a prosthetic joint replacement. The others didn’t have conditions indicating a need.
During my physical for the Army, many years ago, the doctor found i have a heart murmur. He told me i must pre-medicate before dental appointments, because tooth bacteria migrate to the weakest tissues of the body, the heart. A few years ago, suddenly, a new dental clinic told me I didn't need to pre-medicate any more! How does that make sense?
I’m assuming they didn’t give him any pain meds either, so he was not only going septic but he was also suffering a terrible amount of pain. That likely contributed to him getting sick by further weakening his immune system. What a sad example of how so many people forget to treat every human life with equal value.
Not necessarily. I had seventeen teeth puled in one day and by the time the anesthesia wore off, I never suffered any pain. Nor did I have any antibiotics. That was almost two years ago.
@@meyou-mk3qz Why do you call her a liar ? That was her experience. She. May have a better pain tolerance than you I have seen patients go through very difficult oral surgery and claim little discomfort and taken out a tooth so lose that I could have used my fingers and the patient was in pain for a week.
@@meyou-mk3qz You don’t know anything about her to call her a liar. Even if you had a different experience, does not make her a liar. You comment is ignorant. I have for this for over 25 years and one thing I m amazed is the varied level of pain experienced after extractions. I’ve performed extensive oral surgery on people and have them return for follow up only to have them tell me how little pain they had and how they took the first pain pill and didn’t take any more because they didn’t need it. I have also performed the easiest extraction of a lose tooth only to have them describe it as very painful.
Incompetent. Criminally negligent. Would it have killed them to prescribe an antibiotic? No. It wouldn't. Any time I've had a procedure I had to take a course of antibiotics before and after. It's commonplace, not out of the ordinary. Common. Sense.
@@teresaalbin-davis4529 don't be so ridiculous did you even watch the video? He had 9 rotten teeth removed and had a bone infection! He's exactly what antibiotics are for!
@@auhbreykumming4429 I'm a dentist. Are you? Videos are edited. I'd want to see the patient in the chair and the x-rays before judging. It's easy to make assumptions when you're not educated in the field and/or don't know all the facts. Truly sad that he died but multifactorial. Even with many infected teeth removing them removes the source of the infection and the normal healthy body can handle the rest. Think of taking out 9 infected splinters. He had more than one issue. He was a recovering drug addict (which causes health issues on its own). He had pneumonia. Can't put all the bad eggs in the dentist's basket on this one. And dental disease is (mostly) optional. With even minimal care of his own he wouldn't have gotten to this space. So some personal responsibility for poor choices. Have to take it ALL into account. And WAY too many antibiotics being prescribed. Drug resistant bacteria becoming more common. We need to be cautious.
Scary AF!!! I came near death at one of those clinics in Seattle at the U!!! These places need to stop! She lost her loved one - utterly unconscionable!
My son contracted bacteremia after a poorly inserted IV. I currently have one infected tooth that needs pulling, and I’m having to take a weeks worth of antibiotics before even having a consult with the surgeon. If there is pain, and rotting then it’s likely there is infection. Wow. My condolences to those he has left behind. Senseless death.
It is not the standard of care to give every patient who has multiple teeth extracted antibiotics. Even if the teeth are infected at the time. Rarely are they needed. The American Dental Association and the American Heart Association agree based on the evidence from numerous studies. Antibiotic overuse is a huge issue and also causes deaths. Many dentists, and pretty much all schools, won't give antibiotics over the phone. If he would have returned so they could see it maybe they would have. Now, the ER sounds like they completely messed up.
I would think it's common sense to give antibiotics after any oral surgery. Sounds like a big lawsuit. Unfortunately it won't bring him back....my he be at peace in Gods arms.
BEFORE. First thing I learned in dental hygiene was that especially if they have any risk or signs of any thing at all preventative must be done immediately. They should have given him 2 weeks worth a week before they pulled even a single tooth! But no, they pull 7 which was more common back in the day, but they didn't think he needed any 🤷♀️ that's malpractice. At the least. Negligence.
@ TG Although it may seam like, common sense to you, it is not considered a best practice. Years of research have shown that the risks of drug resistant strains to society as a whole and of allergic reactions to the patient in particular , are greater than the chances of giving all oral surgery patients an antibiotic
@@toothrestorer6588 That is false and a lie. Any dentist properly trained or worth a damn gives antibiotics beforehand. no matter what. stop posting false info.
@@jeffreythomas7466 You need to do some research into what the current practice is on antibiotic use. You call me liar, which is not true. I read the current literature on this topic and have 25 years experience in this area. I won’t call you a liar because I can tell you are ignorant of the facts. I suggest you do some reading on the topic of antibiotic resistance and the current protocols for prophylactic use of antibiotics in dentistry.
This is why I always tell friends and family that you do not only go to one physician or one hospital; especially if you question or are un happy with the result of care. You always get a second observation and opinion and maybe a third.
My cousin died under the anesthetic having a tooth pulled. It turned out he was allergic to the anesthetic. No one checked out to see if he was allergic to anesthetics.
I had an infection once, the doctor I went to refused to give me antibiotics and lectured me on how antibiotics are bad, long story short I ended up in the hospital for 4 days on iv antibiotics. Also the same doctor refused to sign my fmla paperwork and told me she "wanted me to work", when I could barely walk and felt sick as hell, thank god I drove to an E.R in a different city.
File a complaint with the medical board in your state at least. They won't do anything, won't even let the public know, but it starts a paper trail at least. You have the documentation to validate the complaint with the inpatient admission right after the visit with the doctor. Call or go online and they'll get the medical records they need to investigate. You should at least sue her for the cost of the hospital admission and loss of work. Hoping you're not in Oklahoma, their malpractice laws are crippling for damaged patients and medical students know (especially the ify ones) which states you are likely to get sued in and which have legislated the public's recourse away from them. Suing is really all you have.
@Mia Li My country doesn't offer over the counter antibiotics, I'm not a doctor I try to listen to them even if I don't necessarily agree with them. Yes, I know overuse of antibiotics is a problem but that's not my fault she acted like I single handedly caused the issue, actually I'm the opposite I hate going to the Dr. they're times where I probably did need antibiotics and I didn't take any, also I'm not one of those people who stop taking them once I start feeling better, I finish the whole bottle like it tells me to. Also I was treated by atleast 5 other doctors they all recommended a high dosage of antibiotics, I did get better. My only advice I can give is if something doesn't feel right get a 2nd maybe 3rd opinion. It wasn't like I had a cold, I was really bad off and could of died if I didn't get help. I'm not trying to make this about me, it's horrible what happen to the man in this video.
I’ve taken out 20+ teeth multiple times with no antibiotics. The health guidelines advise not to prescribe antibiotics unless there is fever or severe swelling due to antibiotic resistance becoming such a problem
I was given antibiotics both times they pulled out wisdom teeth in order to prevent a bacteria infection. After pulling teeth there are a bunch of things that you can't do that are actually effective in stopping bacteria. Changes need to be made to the guidelines
It's really unfortunate that Dental Care is so expensive that you have to resort to going to a dental school to get help / work done. And how unfortunate that even the ER missed the infection
I hope they can sue! I know money won't replace a father, a son, a husband, a nephew, an Uncle or future grandfather but at least a couple million says they were responsible and own up to it
I remember watching this right before I had my dental extractions for my implants and I was so scared because I had about as many teeth pulled but it was by a professional dentist luckily I was okay and healing great but my heart goes out to this woman even if it's this long. Going through Dental issues in life is just terrible but to finally be able to get him taken care of and only be able to afford to go to a school to do it is even harder but then to have this outcome is just the worst I hope that student and the people supervising the student carry this with them for the rest of their lives and hopefully the student and staff will never have careers in dentistry
I've never heard anything like this before. When getting teeth or even 1 tooth pulled antibiotics are literally automatically prescibed, at least to my knowledge anyhow. This is so messed up. 9 teeth pulled without antibiotics is sheer negligence perhaps even in the category of malpractice. This is so sad. May God have mercy on his soul
This is just horrible 😔 I had a dental implant and developed an infection without any signs or symptoms. I went for my follow up and dentist immediately noticed it and took my implant out and cleaned out my infected area. Sent me home with a prescription for antibiotics and pain pills. That same night I got home I had a severe fever and just felt so sick 🤒 I swear I thought I was going to die ! Fortunately fever went down and I didn’t miss one day of my antibiotics. This man could have been alive if it wasn’t for the negligence of the school dentist and the hospital 😔 my condolences 🙏🏼 R.I.P
So sad this man got such shoddy treatment. I'm so very sorry for his family. Unforgivable that they were so lacking in observation and or cared enough. This is truly a case of necessary truth to be told to the public, and school should be sued heartily. Let's also say an investigation into other mishaps in files. God Bless the family, friends, and the little girl who will not have her father to balance raising her. Wake up to all of us. On another note I'd like to say that I was treated at a dental office in WA for re- filling of two cracked molars. One needed a cap which on limited income and insurance, which I could not afford, so they pulled it. I was really sad about it. Then 2nd tooth, which had an unopened abcess. Same problem, no money. I have RA autoimmune so I said I need antibiotics. They said no need. I took care and it healed. Then I lost a whole lot of strength over a couple months. What's wrong with this picture? Oh by the way ADA: Fluoride is POISON. Nazis used.
Same happened to my my primary doctor took care of me gave me 3 strong doses of a antibiotic I believe my primary doctor saved my life I was so sick like I had the flu for days after getting my teeth pulled . That was 4 weeks ago now .
Everyone I have known that has gone in for tooth extraction here in Wisconsin has been prescribed an antibiotic to take before they go in for the procedure. Sounds like this dental clinic and the hospital are incompetent and probably liable for is death. Sorry for your loss!
I'm supposed to go in for a tooth extraction for an alleged infected tooth (an old root canal which crown I have lost, so I've just had the "stump" uncovered for about 3 years now), I had decided to try and take care of myself cuz I also have other teeth which hurt. Went to this one place where they ripped me off from the get go and charged me 200 for x-rays and a cleaning instead of the agreed 95 (xrays done right away, cleaning I had to BEG for them to even do on another date after repeated calls)...so that first day all they had to say to me was that I needed 13k worth of work including 3 implants and 2 extractions "and here is our in house discount plan please sign here and swipe your card there". So as you can see I do have a few issues right and am desperate enough...they scheduled the first extraction by forcing my hand, and I was so freaked out listening to them I agreed...until I found out that I would be given NOTHING for the pain safe. "You mean to tell me you are gonna do literal surgery on me, not just an extraction but a full on BONE GRAFT, and you won't even give me anything for me to be comfortable during the procedure????" they were almost like "duh whaddya expect", and acted like I was being unreasonable and a pain in their butts and that it would be an inconvenience but they could "organize" for some "nitrous oxide" if I was willing to pay an EXTRA 800 IN ADVANCE, and that it is "usually for children". Then when I asked well where is the bone graft gonna be coming from, am I not gonna hurt for that and they answered "oh no its cadaver bone, could be human or animal" I was like...bruh, what am I doing. I also had to beg them for antibiotics prior to the surgery. They finally prescribed 5 days of amoxicillin and ONE valium, half to be taken the night BEFORE surgery and the other half 30 mins prior to the procedure. Long story short I did pick up the 5 days of antibiotics and used them but couldn't even pick up the valium since the pharmacy wouldn't give me the ONE pill without talking to the dentist, which obviously at 8pm was closed (wtf, does it look like im could potentially be abusing ONE pill???) ...I'm finally telling myself maybe all those issues is the universe trying to tell me to go somewhere else. I have since called them to put it on hold and said I needed more time for the money blabla...and I have left it all in limbo til I find somewhere I feel comfortable or at least get a 2nd opinion...and I have been seriously procrastinating. I cant believe the things we have to go through to take care of our health, being in the supposed greatest country of the world. Now watching this video by mistake put the fear inside me even more. I'm scared to have waited too long and have the infection spread too far like this man. All the dentist stuff was in late february/early March, and its already almost May...God what have I done
Really sad..I stay away from dentists that say there is no requirement for antibiotics for teeth infections. I've been to a couple of them. Whenever I get a tooth infection I go to the immediate care and I tell them that I want antibiotics and they have always wrote me a prescription for it.
Exactly. Even with 1 absessed tooth my daughter in law was prescribed antibiotic before surgery and was sent to a hospital who had specialists for this very serious surgery. ??? In Houston.
@@theunveileressreginaecaeli5772 You did the best thing for yourself. You were in the wrong place and I can almost bet you they were not being truthful with you. Please don't let any more time go by though. Ask friends/family for trusted dentist and make appt right away. I'm going to pray for you but think you will be surprised that things aren't as bad as they said. Though, it is true. Only specialists carry "gas" these days and at an extra cost I bet you might not even need all that
I remember dentist giving me antibiotics before having my tooth pulled. He should have been prescribed antibiotics before dental procedure. There are locations and even organizations that do dental for low income.
