Dental malpractice occurs when the dental treatment a person was offered is below the acceptable standard of care. In the US dental malpractice is rare and only one in seven medical malpractice cases fall under dental malpractice. However, in most cases, a dental malpractice occurs when dentists and their staff do not take the necessary steps to ensure that their patients are cared for properly.

A dental malpractice lawyer will mostly receive dental malpractice cases, where patients have been faced with complications due to a tooth extraction. In some cases, the dentist has not given the patient the information needed so he/she can make an informed decision. While in other cases, patients have not been referred to another medical professional, after an injury during an extraction has occurred. A study showed that from 240 dental cases investigated, 63 cases were due to incorrect extraction procedures. Out of these, 23 cases caused infection, while others caused dental implant nerve damage and a few resulted in death.

If you feel that you have been a victim of dental malpractice and believe you have a valid case, it is advisable to seek legal action against the dental care professional. To receive sound advice, speak to an experienced law firm or attorney that specializes in medical negligence cases in your state. If you can contact an experienced dental malpractice lawyer, this would be ideal, as they will have the practical knowledge to get you the highest form of compensation.
