  My experience with the dentist was very bad. After my tooth extraction 17 Dec 19...I noticed that I was not getting better. I went back later in Jan to complain about the constant pain I was experiencing in my tooth socket. Only then I was told that according to the xray (that they took on the same day the tooth was extracted) the roots of my extracted tooth was attached to the floor of my maxillary sinus there4 causing an unnatural hole between my oral cavity & maxillary sinus. I was advised by Dr Mafojane that there is nothing they can do for me, that I need to consult the maxillo facial & oral surgeon to close the hole in my mouth. After 2 days, I realised that I have an infection and pus was starting to come out of the tooth socket from the sinus. I was hospitalised for 4 days under antibiotics by the ENT to treat the infection. Before consulting the ENT, the maxillo facial and oral surgeon told me that he can't close the hole until the infection was treated. He then referred me to the ENT. This has caused me so much pain and inconvenience going in & out of the hospital I blame the dentist for negligence. She was aware (via xray) that during the extraction the could be a possibility that my sinus would be perforated. And if it was the case she should've advice me to come back immediately if I experience certain signs in my oral cavity (oroantral communication).I would have attended to this issue immediately and not wait to experience pain and infection first She took my case very lightly and told me to go see the oral surgeon and told me that there is nothing she can do She told me I have delayed to come back. Normally people with this problem come back immediately. My only question to her: HOW WAS I SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IF YOU DIDN'T TELL ME???? I've already had a sinusitis surgery and I still need to do another surgery to close the hole that has caused the infection.
