Dental Malpractice Lawyer

Dental malpractice occurs when a dentist or dental specialist fails to provide acceptable dental treatment that results in an injury to a patient.

All dentists including general dentists, endodontists, periodontists, pedodontists and oral surgeons are required to adhere to a standard of care that has been established in the dental community. When a dentist fails to adhere to this standard by his actions and/or failure to act resulting in harm to a patient the dentist or dental specialist has committed malpractice and the patient is entitled to be compensated for their injuries.

It is important to remember that a dental malpractice claim can only be made within a limited amount of time. This is called the Statute of Limitations. Generally, the Statute of Limitations runs two years from the date of injury. The time maybe tolled in the event the injured patient was unaware that the injury sustained was due to the negligent dental care. It may also be tolled if the injured person was a minor. In the case of a minor patient the claims must be bought within 2 years after reaching the age of majority. A claim for dental malpractice involving an adult must always be bought within 7 years of the date of the alleged malpractice. If a dental malpractice claim is not made within the applicable Statute of Limitations period, you will be barred from the bringing the action.

It is imperative that if you believe you were injured as a result of dental malpractice that you contact Brendan F. Mulligan, D.M.D., Esquire, the dental injury attorney.
