By: Dr. Gregg Helvey

Patient presented to my office on 9/17/12 with the chief complaint of a recently placed crown on tooth #10 that had chipped. She said that the treating dentist, Dr. R, said that it could not be fixed and she would need to replace the veneer at her cost.

Dental Malpractice: Nerve Injuries

By: Dr. Lee (Mac) Whitesides

Approximately 10% of cases of dental malpractice are a result of nerve injury. Perhaps the genesis of the high number of lawsuits proportional to the overall number of surgeries lies in the sequelae of a nerve injury. The sequelae can range from relatively minor annoying numbness to intractable pain and the anesthesia to the area of the nerve supply.

By: Dr. J. Crystal Baxter

In the past 12 years, I have been requested to review 242 medical legal cases to evaluate them for dental negligence.
