Tooth Extraction
A dentist should carefully plan and properly assess the tooth to be removed and plan the procedure and exercise care when performing the extraction. A failure to do so may lead to a mistake and cause injury to the patient. Some common mistakes made by dentists, which are likely to provide grounds to make a dental negligence claim, are:
- A serious fracture of the jaw bone is caused because the dentist has used excessive force.
- Damage caused to a nerve because the dentist has failed to exercise proper care.
- Damage to other teeth, bridges or crowns.
