Dental Malpractice

Dental malpractice occurs when a dentist fails to provide the appropriate standard of care, leading to harm or injury to a patient. This can include misdiagnosing a condition, performing unnecessary procedures, or causing damage due to negligence during treatment. Patients have the right to expect that their dental provider will adhere to established practices to ensure their safety and well-being. If a dentist's actions result in significant harm, the patient may pursue legal action to seek compensation for damages caused by the malpractice.
