This is where we get off FML, and call up the attorney. "Accidentally" pulled out the wrong tooth? Fishy.

A tooth for a tooth. It's the only answer.

I have had this happen. In my case I had multiple teeth together that needed to be pulled and the one he was supposed to remove was a broken one that was causing a lot of pain. We discussed it and when he got in he pulled the one next to it (It was going to go eventually). When I realized what tooth he pulled (shortly after the numbing agent wore off) we had a chat to find out why it still hurt so bad, he then pulled the correct tooth without charging for it. It was an innocent mistake for me so I wasn't mad.

I'm in this industry and, sorry folks, that happens a lot more than you'd think. A good assistant should have spotted the mistake before the dentist started prepping to pull. But dentists are very narcissistic and hate to be told they are wrong. Most of them anyway. OP, you definitely shouldn't have been charged. And you are one of the very few patients that get the truth in a situation like this. The patient is usually told the dentist "found something needing treatment" with the tooth they got wrong. They will always try to cover their asses...
