Dentists hold a high-level of responsibility. It’s expected that they treat each patient with compassion and care. In some cases, accidents or neglect occur. If injury or illness results due to the negligence of a dentist, further action may be taken. The patient may choose to file a dental malpractice suit.
Malpractice is a legal term used to describe any alleged misconduct provided by a medical provider. There are no specific guidelines used to determine whether or not a dental case is considered malpractice. If a patient accuses a dentist of performing below the acceptable standard of care, it could constitute malpractice. Dental malpractice extends beyond dentist. It can include dental hygienists, assistants, and any other dental care professionals. `
If a medical malpractice suit is filed, the injuries and maltreatment must be proven. In order to do so, the patient will prepare a case. Both parties may choose to hire an expert medical witness to further prove their case. These experts may testify on behalf of their party.
After the evidence is reviewed, the case will be ruled. Should the evidence prove true, the dental professional will be guilty of malpractice. Monetary compensation or further action may be required in order to make restitution. If the evidence doesn’t prove malpractice, the case will be dismissed.
