If in fact they were rocks, you have several claims for foreign substances in the food.

You have a good claim; perhaps you should see a personal injury lawyer.

You can get them to pay for the dental work. Do not sign anything releasing them of this responsibility.

Yes, if you can prove that the rocks were in the bag when you opened it you should be paid for the needed dental work. You also should get some compensation for your pain and suffering.

You need to let David's know about your injuries. If they won't pay for it, you'll have to pay for it yourself and get a lawyer to make a claim to get you reimbursed.
