How can you determine whether you have a dental malpractice case?
Dental negligence occurs when a dental health care provider such as a dentist, periodontist, orthodontist, or endodontist fails to properly treat or diagnose an oral health condition or problem due to a violation of accepted dental practises or procedures, resulting in serious injury, pain, discomfort, or, in some cases, wrongful death.
Dentists are highly educated healthcare professionals. However, errors do occur in any job. The most frequent causes of dental malpractice are as follows:
- Failure to diagnose or a delay in diagnosing an oral ailment or disease
- Surgical mistakes in dentistry
- Treatment of a dental problem incorrectly or inappropriately
- Utilization of an ill-fitting or faulty dental equipment
- Complications associated with wisdom teeth extraction
- Complications associated with root canal therapy
- Injuries to the lips, tongue, and jaw as a consequence of a dental operation
- Extraneous extractions
- Extraction of the incorrect tooth
- Negligence in the placement of bridges and crowns, as well as the difficulties that ensue
- Injuries sustained by dental patients as a result of an anaesthetic mistake
Is it possible to sue my dentist?
Yes, if you have been harmed by dental carelessness.
Compensation-related injuries are often accompanied with lasting nerve damage, impaired speech and/or taste, damaged bone structures or deformities of the jaw, and chronic sickness or significant psychological anguish.
To prevail in a legal medical malpractice claim against your dentist, you must establish the following: that you sustained a significant injury; that your dentist provided treatment below the standard expected of a properly trained dentist (negligence); and that you sustained an injury as a direct result of the dentist’s negligence.
