If something goes wrong during a dental exam or procedure, most people don’t immediately think of malpractice. In fact, most patients don’t know what dental malpractice is or what their legal options are after becoming a victim of negligent dental care. Dental malpractice is a type of civil wrong in which a dental professional breaches a duty of care to a patient.
