Talk: Talk with the surgeon. Sometimes things happen beyond the control of the surgeon and nothing was done wrong. However if something was done improperly then the surgeon should make it right. If the surgeon and you do not agree on a solution you may need the help of another surgeon or expert witness to determine if anything was done improperly.

How do you know that: My first question would be, how do you know that? Exactly what happened? Have you already discussed this with your surgeon and what was his\her response? We have very little information to go on with you post. If you are unhappy with the treatment and\or the response, my first suggestion would be to see the best oral surgeon in your area for a consultation and discussion regarding your complaints.

More info: You are accusing your surgeon of wrongdoing, but on what basis? Have you had a second consultation with another surgeon? Have you spoken to your original surgeon? What constitutes 'messed up'? I think you need to evaluated all that has happened and have a third party confirm any concerns you may have.

Speak to your doc: I'm not sure what you mean by 'messed up your teeth'. If you have any concerns about the treatment that was done, i would recommend that you first talk to the doctor. Make sure your expectations are reasonable and that you are specific as to what concerns you have. He or she will be more than happy to discuss them with you. Hopefully, it is a mild misunderstanding. Keep smiling !
