Dental professionals and oral surgeons are well respected in this country and provide important healthcare services to people of all ages. Like other forms of malpractice, dental malpractice occurs in the United States at an alarming rate. Dental malpractice is a situation in which a dentist provides a patient with substandard care or neglect, resulting in serious physical injury or death. Dental malpractice injuries may leave the victim with a variety of short or long – term disabilities and health problems.

The following are examples of some of the serious injuries that victims of dental malpractice may suffer:

• Anesthesia error injuries
• Deformity
• Failure to diagnose oral cancer
• Harm caused by dental services provided by unlicensed persons
• Medication error injuries
• Misdiagnosis of oral cancer
• Nerve damage to the jaw
• Nerve damage to the lips
• Nerve damage to the tongue
• Permanent numbness of the affected area
• Radiation injuries
• Root canal injuries
• Unnecessary dental treatment injuries
• Unnecessary removal of teeth
• Wrongful death

Dentists and oral surgeons must obtain an informed consent from the patient prior to performing certain procedures. If the patient is not given an informed consent document to review and sign, the dentist has violated the law. Patients must be made aware of the surgery or dental procedure they are going to have, as well as any risks that are involved.
