A:
I'm truly sorry to hear about your father's distressing experience. Based on the information provided, it may be possible to explore a claim of negligence against the dental office, depending on the extent of harm suffered and the specific circumstances surrounding the delay in calling the ambulance. It would be advisable to gather all relevant evidence, such as witnesses and medical records, and consult with an attorney who can review the specifics of the situation to determine the strength of a potential case.
