Thank you for joining us for this episode on dental malpractice. Today, we’re going to be answering this question: Can you sue a dentist? So, can you sue a dentist? The answer is Yes, you can sue a dentist. If your dentist breaches the standard of care, you may have a viable dental malpractice claim. The standard of care in dentistry is basically a legal measuring stick; it’s a line in the sand or a prescribed boundary of acceptable conduct. The way we establish the standard of care is typically through the testimony of an expert witness who is qualified to opine as to what a similarly-situated or similarly-skilled dentist would have done under similar circumstances. Here are some of the more common reasons to sue a dentist: Failure to diagnose oral cancer; Failure to diagnose periodontal disease; Failure to obtain informed consent; Pulling the wrong tooth; Performing a procedure on the wrong tooth; Failed Dental Implant; Broken or fractured jaw from extraction; Perforation of the sinus during an extraction, root canal, or dental implant procedure; Improper use of mini dental implants; Root canal injuries; Nerve damage; and Complications from Anesthesia. If you’ve experienced any of these issues as a result of dental treatment, you may be entitled to compensation.
