Talk to your solicitor.  No matter how good any medical person is, accidents
will happen.  This is the reason that all professional people have insurance 
for such things.

At the very least, the dentist who was doing the work should pay to fix his
mistake.  Give him a chance, if not, see a solicitor. 


Good Luck ..
