Description
Douglas H. Irwin, D.D.S., appeals the judgment of the Jackson County Circuit Court in favor of Julie Blake and Thomas Blake following a jury trial in an action for medical malpractice. Toward the end of July, 1991, Julie Blake was referred by her dentist to Dr. Irwin after x-rays revealed she needed to have her third molars (wisdom teeth) extracted. Blake first saw Dr. Irwin on July 31, 1991, and on August 1, 1991, Dr. Irwin performed surgical extraction of Blake's four wisdom teeth. Following the extraction, Blake began to experience jaw pain, facial pain, gritting and popping in both jaw joints, inability to open her mouth, numbness in her lower jaw, lip and gums, ringing in the ear, dizziness, headaches, earaches, and throat and neck pain. After eight or nine return visits to Dr. Irwin regarding these problems, she went to see Dr. Robert Arms, D.D.S., who suggested she try again to talk to Dr. Irwin about her condition. Still dissatisfied with Dr. Irwin's failure to alleviate her problems, Blake returned to Dr. Arms who attempted minor treatments to relieve Blake's symptoms. Dr. Arms' treatments proved unsuccessful in relieving Blake's problems so he eventually referred Blake to Dr. Edward Moseby, D.D.S., a temporomandibular specialist.
