Reasons to Consider Consulting a Dental Malpractice Lawyer From Our Team
Dentists are medical professionals, and they face the same standard of care that a physician does. When a dentist (or other dental professional) violates their duty of care to the patient, they may become the subject of a dental negligence lawsuit.
Specific reasons to take legal action against a dental professional may include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnoses of a dental condition
- Improper recommendation of treatment
- Failure to warn you of the risks of a specific procedure
- Surgical errors (46.1% of responding dentists in a study from the Journal of Patient Safety were concerned that they had made a dental error in the prior six months)
- Anesthesia errors
- Failure to maintain safe and sterile conditions, which can lead to infection
- Performing a medical procedure on the wrong tooth
- Hiring underqualified or otherwise unfit employees
If you or a loved one suffered these or any other problem at the hands of a dental care provider, you can consult a dental malpractice attorney from our team. We will explain whether you have grounds for a lawsuit, and we can lead your fight for fair compensation.
Signs of Dental Malpractice You Should Look For
Some of the signs of dental malpractice include:
- You are in severe pain that does not seem normal
- You do not have physical control over your mouth or face, potentially indicating nerve damage
- Your physical appearance concerns you, and you believe it could be due to dental negligence
- A dentist told you that you had dental procedure complications
- You have symptoms of an infection
- You have any other reason to believe a dental provider has caused you harm
Many of our clients are uncertain whether they are the victims of dental negligence. We can refer you to a qualified dental professional. They will diagnose any injuries a dentist has caused and help us determine if you are the victim of dental malpractice.

We Fight to Cover the Cost of Dental Malpractice
Dental negligence often comes at a steep cost, and our clients suffer:
- Additional dental costs: If you need corrective dental care, we will include the cost of that dental work in your lawsuit or claim.
- Non-economic damages: Certain types of dental malpractice can cause emotional anguish, psychological distress, physical pain, and other types of non-economic damages. A victim of dental malpractice may even fear going to the dentist, which could lead to further dental issues.
- The cost of mental health treatment: If you need medication, counseling, or other treatment for the effects of dental negligence, we will seek fair compensation for your treatment.
- Lost income: If you miss work because of the effects of dental malpractice, you may lose income, miss promotion and bonus opportunities, and suffer other professional damages.
