Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / June 2008Malpractice?
If a dentist ignores a treatment plan and you consequently suffer from teeth damaged to the point of tooth lose and or root canals is a Malpractice suit in order? i.e. if you have lost confidence in your dentist's abilities shouldn't you see the dentist recommended by an attorney?

You would have to demonstrate that the dentist's action (or lack of action) was the proximate cause of the damage. Furthermore, you would have to demonstrate that you followed the dentists recommendations, and that this caused the damages. If you lose confidence in your dentist, you should see another dentist. Going to an attorney is the last thing I'd do, not the first.

I did get a second opinion and it seemed decay in more than one tooth has been ignored until major work in needed. I did complain about pain and it was labeled gum recession and Ambesol was suggested. It was decay all along. And probable tooth loss. we're looking at $10,000+ . Probably all preventable.
