Dental Malpractice

Oral health is a vital part of your overall health, and the damaging consequences of dental malpractice can go far beyond your smile. Permanent disfigurement, loss of sensitivity, expensive restorative surgery, and long-lasting pain are some of the results of dental malpractice.

Like medical malpractice, dental malpractice is a subcategory of personal injury. When dentists, dental assistants, or other healthcare professionals in the oral health care field cause harm because of a substandard level of care, they can be sued for malpractice.

Types of dental malpractice include:

  • Facial paralysis
  • Failure to diagnose oral cancer
  • Loss of teeth or bone
  • Improper treatment
  • Misuse of dental equipment
  • Use of substandard materials
  • Substandard work
  • Unnecessary treatments

If you’ve suffered harm because of dental malpractice, you can sue for compensation. Maybe you have sustained loss of feeling or ability to taste in the tongue, been subject to root canals or extractions that weren’t necessary, have suffered from nerve damage after oral surgery, or had complications from anesthesia. These are all examples of dental malpractice cases.

As with medical malpractice, it must be shown that the pain was caused by a substandard level of care. Dental malpractice cases can be tough to win, but if you’ve been harmed and have suffered, you could have a case.
