The dental office is where you seek preventive care to avoid serious oral health issues. However, it raises concerns when dental malpractice and negligence contribute to problems. If you’ve adhered to recommended dental cleanings and exams but still grapple with severe infections, decay, tooth or teeth loss, periodontal issues, or abscesses, it’s essential to explore the possibility of complications due to dental malpractice and treatment errors. I encourage you to consult with me, a seasoned attorney in the field of dental malpractice, to discuss your situation and consider your options for moving forward.
Identifying the Root Cause of Your Issue
Bacterial infections generally cause infections and abscesses, which can occur due to various factors, including errors or negligence on the part of your dentist.
Your infection or abscess might be attributed to:
- Improper cleaning by a dentist or hygienist
- Unclean or unsafe dental equipment
- A failed dental implant or root canal
- Misdiagnosis
- If your dentist mishandled your treatment or prescribed an incorrect course of action, they bear responsibility for the resulting infection or abscess.
- Decay not treated
- Infections not treated or diagnosed
- Loss of teeth or tooth
- Bone Loss
