## Narrative

IE was struck in the mouth with a hook from a ratchet strap, resulting in a broken tooth. The employee did not have any treatment until 3/26/17. That information wasn't received until 4/5 & it wasn't clear whether or not the treatment was for the broken tooth or cleaning required before the dentist would do other work. The cleaning was required due to poor dental hygiene.
