Dentist Malpractice
Almost all of us have had some dental work done. Sometimes it is just a matter of having our teeth cleaned, or a minor filling. Sometimes people need dental work costing tens of thousands of dollars, or want a major cosmetic procedure done. Few of us realize how dangerous a visit to the dentist can be when the dentist commits malpractice.
Dentist malpractice is a serious and growing problem, as more and more dentists who have been trained to do only routine procedures commit dentist malpractice by attempting procedures for which they have no training and no experience in order to make money. Our lawyers have seen cases of dentist malpractice where dentists without any training or experience have attempted to place implants in their patient's jaw, or have attempted complicated cosmetic dentistry procedures without the proper training and equipment. These cases of dentist malpractice have resulted in the virtual destruction of patient's ability to eat or talk normally, and have caused years of pain and hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical and dental fees to repair.
Even worse are the cases of dentist malpractice we have handled where the dentist makes a mistake which is just thoughtless and stupid-like failing to give antibiotics to a patient with a known heart defect or artificial medical implants, resulting in serious infections and a condition known as endocarditis, which requires the replacement of a heart valve to save the patient's life. Or the dentist who knew his patient had a serious abscess but pulled the tooth anyway, and then gave the wrong antibiotic-resulting in an infection so severe that the patient was in a coma for three weeks and in the hospital for two months. Or the dentist who pulled seven healthy teeth he shouldn't have pulled. Or the dentist who designed crowns for teeth that fit so badly that 17 teeth died and had to have root canal treatments. Or the dentist who used the wrong kind of drill and cut his patient's tongue in half. Nobody thinks about their dentist committing this kind of malpractice, but these kinds of dentist malpractice happen all too often.
Many lawyers won't look at dentist malpractice cases because they don't understand how serious they are, or don't know how to prove a dentist malpractice case. At Polewski & Associates, we have been handling dentist malpractice cases for twenty years. We understand how serious they are, and we know how to get the compensation our clients deserve for the injuries and pain they have suffered, and the bills they had to pay.
