You cannot bring a claim against the dentist in Florida unless you can get another "similar health care provider" (another DDS or DMD, depending on the dentist who did the extraction) to give you an affidavit saying that the original dentist deviated from the standard of care. It is very difficult successfully bringing a claim for health care malpractice so you might want to speak with an attorney who handles medical (and dental) malpractice cases.
