What May Constitute Dental Malpractice?

If you are considering taking action against a dentist or oral surgeon, you probably have had an extremely painful experience or are now dealing with severe consequences. As an example, our attorneys recently handled a case in which an appointment for a tooth extraction ended with facial nerve damage. Other dentist errors and cases of dental malpractice involve:

• Nerve damage involving the lips or tongue
• Injuries associated with root canals
• Failed procedures resulting in a need for extensive additional dental work
