Dental Malpractice
Dental malpractice, though not often publicized, is still a serious concern. Whether performing a routine cleaning or undertaking a tooth extraction, a dentist must be careful not to inflict injuries on his or her patient. If an accident should happen due to a dentist’s carelessness, he or she may be legally and financially liable.

Examples of Dental Malpractice
Like any medical professional, dentists must be sure to address their work with the care, attention, and professionalism required to avoid making mistakes. When dentists do make mistakes on the job, innocent patients are often left to suffer from long term pain and discomfort. Some of the most common results of dental malpractice include:
- Nerve damage
- Permanent numbness in the tongue and / or gums
- Loss of taste
- Failure to examine a patient’s full medical history
- Missed diagnosis (e.g. oral cancer or periodontal disease)
- Unnecessary tooth extraction (or unnecessary extraction of multiple teeth)
- Wrong site tooth extraction
- Complications due to negligent work
When the negligent or careless actions of dental professionals result in any of the above injuries, it is critical that the individuals responsible for these mistakes are held accountable for their actions.
