Keep evidence like the foreign object and packaging, and document your injury and expenses. Request a detailed dental estimate and present it to the company. Pain and suffering compensation varies based on injury severity, impact on life, and medical costs. Consider sending a formal letter to the company outlining your claim and expectations.

- Medical costs and recovery time.
- Potential negligence of the company.
Consulting with a legal professional can provide a more accurate estimate tailored to your situation.
