What Is Dental Malpractice?
Dental malpractice occurs when a dentist or another dental care provider fails to meet the standards of professional care, resulting in harm or injury to a patient. Like other forms of medical malpractice, a claim must prove negligence or incompetence by the dental professional.
Common examples of dental malpractice include:
- Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failure to identify serious conditions like oral cancer or infections.
- Surgical Errors: Nerve damage, poorly performed procedures, or performing unnecessary surgeries.
- Anesthesia Complications: Administering too much or too little anesthesia, leading to pain, distress, or severe complications.
- Improper Use of Instruments: Use of contaminated tools or causing injuries during treatment.
- Failure to Obtain Consent: Performing procedures without adequately informing the patient of the risks and alternatives.
If your dental care experience has resulted in any of these issues or other injuries, you may have grounds for a malpractice claim.
