Hey, that happened to me too. My gums healed over them, so I had to have them surgically removed, as well.
Did you sue? If not, you should have. Weeks went by after my surgery and I could figure out why I had constant headaches and breath from hell. Then I felt something sticking up in the back of my mouth, borrowed a pair of tweezers from a girl upstairs, pulled about a foot of packing, and high-tailed it over to the dental school at Case Western Reserve. It was awful.
Are you serious?? Me too!
