Jim Beam will work. You don't have to swallow it.

He definitely did not remove the ligament. If he tries to charge you extra to clean the thing out... well if it were me I would go in and let him clean it out, write a check with a smile on my face say thank you the whole bit, then stop payment on the check as soon as I got home.

No reason you should suffer for his mistakes and then have to pay him extra too. But don't say that to his face. You can tell him later when he tries to bill you.

Find a differnt dentist to do the rest. get them cut out, you'll be a lot happier.
