Whether it is a simple dental exam or a complicated extraction involving anesthesia, there is always a risk for injuries during dental procedures. Like any healthcare provider, dentists and dental assistants are responsible for ensuring your health and safety by strictly following an appropriate standard of care. However, mistakes do occur and dental patients may suffer personal injury or death as a result of dental negligence.

Dental malpractice lawsuits commonly arise from the following:

• Anesthesia complications
• Failure to diagnose oral diseases or cancers
• Injuries to oral nerves
• Complications with bridges and crowns
• Root canal injuries
• Infections
