Compensation for Dental Negligence – Misdiagnosis
A misdiagnosed gingivitis has the potential to turn into a more serious gum disease. Misdiagnosis occurs when your dental professional fails to properly categorize or notice your ailment. This can result in miss guided treatments and procedures being performed. It can also result in easy to cure conditions becoming life-altering diseases.
Inadequate Dental Technique
Inadequate dental techniques can cause common procedures such as crowns, fillings, and implants to become infected or fall out prior to their planned removal dates. Your dentist must perform a pre-surgery assessment to ensure that you are not going to have negative reactions to the process or the drugs used during the surgery.
Careless Treatment
Careless treatment is among the worst types of dental negligence as it involves your dentist performing the wrong or unnecessary procedures. This can leave teeth partially extracted and lead to further complications including teeth abscess.
