Were you Injured by a Negligent Dental Professional?
When you visit the dentist you want to feel safe. Whether it's a root canal, a crown, or a complicated oral surgery, people associate pain with the experience of seeing the dentist; but usually things go well. You trust your oral health to a licensed dentist because your teeth and gums need attention. Every dental patient's nightmare is the possibility that the dentist will do something not only painful; but harmful, causing permanent injury.
So, what happens if something goes wrong while you're reclined in that chair? Or what if you have dental work done and then experience complications months later? If you suffered significant loss or pain at the hands of a negligent dentist, you should consult a Dental Malpractice Attorney at Charlip Law Group, LC who specializes in dental malpractice cases.
Dental Malpractice Cases: What types of problems can you sue your dentist for?
Most people think of malpractice in terms of what a dentist does to cause harm to a patient. It can include everything from permanently injuring a tongue nerve during a surgery miscue, to crafting a defective oral device that causes costly, and painful, complications. These are both acts on the part of negligent dentists - things they did but should not have. But did you know that a dentist's failure to do something can also be grounds for a dental malpractice lawsuit? Failing to diagnose oral cancer or other serious problems when symptoms present themselves can also be characterized as dental malpractice.
Here are just a few examples of dental malpractice cases:
- Nerve injuries that affected a patient's ability to taste
- Nerve injuries that caused permanent numbness in the tongue (or even just part of the tongue)
- Complications arising from negligently completed crowns and bridges
- Failure to take a patient's relevant medical history into account before acting
- Failure to detect oral cancer, periodontal disease, or other diseases
- Certain complications from anesthesia, even when releases are signed
- Unnecessary extraction of multiple teeth
- Extraction of the wrong teeth
