The breaking of a tooth is likely one of the risks she was warned about prior to surgery. If not it should have been. Unless something was done negligently, there would be no claim against anyone for the broken tooth. Even if the tooth was broken negligently the cost of pursuit of a malpractice claim is far more than the damages related to the tooth. Sorry. Good luck.
