Dental malpractice review begins with the exact tooth, procedure, and diagnosis
Dental claims can involve diagnosis, extraction, endodontic treatment, implants, periodontal care, anesthesia, infection, or nerve injury. Start with the dental chart and imaging rather than treating every poor dental outcome as negligence.
Records to organize
- Dental charting and periodontal measurements
- X-rays, cone-beam imaging, or other dental images when obtained
- Consent and treatment plan
- Procedure notes and anesthesia records
- Referral and follow-up records
- Later oral-surgery, endodontic, neurologic, or restorative treatment
Questions for qualified dental review
- What diagnosis and treatment options were documented?
- What structure or complication is alleged to have been injured?
- Was referral to a specialist indicated?
- What additional treatment resulted from the questioned care?
