What to do if the dentist’s office changed paperwork after I signed it?
I signed a form to have 11 teeth pulled when I got home I realized I had 15 teeth missing. I went to get a copy of the form I had signed and it was modified after I signed it. Someone added 4 more teeth to the consent form.

Based upon what you have written about you should consult with an attorney practicing in the area of dental malpractice as well as the American Dental Association to make a complaint against the dental office where you ended up having additional teeth pulled without your consent.
