Suing a dentist, also known as dental malpractice, involves taking legal action against a dental professional for negligence or misconduct that has caused harm to a patient. It typically involves proving that the dentist breached their duty of care to the patient, resulting in damages such as pain, suffering, or financial loss.
Dental malpractice cases can arise from various situations, including misdiagnosis, improper treatment, surgical errors, or the use of faulty equipment. In such cases, patients may seek compensation for their injuries, lost wages, and other expenses incurred as a result of the dentist's negligence.
