Dental Malpractice
When visiting a dentist, many people do not realize that their dental professional will behave in any way that is less than fully honest and caring. The problem, however, rests in the fact that dentists are human too and are therefore prone to error. This can lead to harrowing situations and pain for their patients. There are several situation in which a patient could suffer while visiting a dentist. These include the following:
- Damaging the nerves in the mouth (Jaw, lips, tongue, gums, etc.)
- Causing an infection after dental procedures
- Using anesthesia in a way that causes wrongful death
- A failure to diagnose progressing oral diseases
- Using an incorrect or unneeded procedure
Statistics have shown that thousands of people each year do not bring a case forward because they did not know their rights or were unsure of the compensation that was due to them. Still, regardless of this statistic, dental malpractice contributes to almost 5% of all medical malpractice cases according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
