AnnetteB Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 So, our dentist phones last night to say that ds, 20, may have aspirated a bb-sized piece of metal filling yesterday while having two cavities filled. He is offering to pay for a chest x-ray and thinks it would be prudent to have it done today. Our dentist is a great guy and I can tell he is concerned. He said we could present ourselves at the ER, but I am going to phone our doctor and see if we can do this without an ER visit. IF David has inhaled the metal into his airway it will have to be retrieved. I'm whispering prayers that this is all nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnetteB Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Whew. We were between pediatrician and internist with ds and the new (as yet unseen) doctor called in the radiology orders and saved us an ER bill :) Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes!
