For a medical malpractice case to be viable, you have to be in a position to demonstrate that what a healthcare provider did to cause you injury was below accepted standards of care. If your retina detached because of the physical contact the dentist administered while pulling your wisdom teeth, but the force administered was not excessive, then the retinal detachment, while unfortunate, was not the product of malpractice.
You are going to have a very hard time proving that the dentist used excessive force in pulling your wisdom teeth.
