Examples of Dental Malpractice
Dental malpractice could involve situations such as failure or delay in diagnosis, which may result in the patient’s condition worsening. Here are some examples:
- A patient may present with symptoms of oral cancer, but the dentist fails to recognize these signs.
- A dentist could carry out a procedure incorrectly or negligently, such as extracting the wrong tooth or causing nerve damage during a procedure.
- Improper sterilization of dental instruments could lead to infections.
- A dentist may also be held liable for failure to obtain informed consent before a procedure.
Signs You’re a Victim of Dental Malpractice
Possible signs of dental malpractice include:
- Persistent pain or discomfort after a dental procedure, particularly if it continues after follow-up appointments.
- Unexpected or severe bleeding, numbness, or loss of taste.
- Damage to the teeth, jaw, or gums (could occur if the dentist fails to diagnose an issue like a cavity or gum disease).
