Dental Malpractice Cases: Seeking Justice for Your Dental Injuries
Cesar Zuniga, Esq., a skilled lawyer based in Yonkers, realizes the significance of calling healthcare experts to account for their deeds. Matters related to dental malpractice are of grave concern and can potentially cause substantial physical, emotional, and financial hardship for the affected person. If you or someone close to you has suffered from dental malpractice, you are entitled to justice and equitable remuneration for your damages.
Understanding Dental Malpractice
Dental malpractice occurs when a dentist or dental professional fails to provide the standard of care expected in the dental industry, resulting in harm to the patient. These cases can arise from a variety of situations, including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, or negligence in treatment. Dental malpractice claims are complex and often require a thorough understanding of both dental procedures and legal principles.
Common Dental Malpractice Issues
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
A common form of dental malpractice involves the misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of dental conditions. Dentists are responsible for identifying and addressing oral health issues promptly. Failure to diagnose conditions such as periodontal disease, oral cancer, or infections can lead to severe consequences, including the need for more extensive and costly treatment.
Surgical Errors
Dental surgeries, whether routine or complex, carry inherent risks. However, when a dentist makes a surgical error due to negligence or incompetence, the patient may suffer lasting damage. Surgical errors can include nerve damage, incorrect extractions, or complications arising from anesthesia administration.
Infection Control Failures
Maintaining a sterile environment is crucial in dental practices to prevent the spread of infections. Inadequate sterilization procedures can lead to the transmission of diseases such as HIV, hepatitis, or other bacterial infections. Patients who suffer harm due to the dentist’s failure to follow proper infection control protocols may have grounds for a dental malpractice claim.
Medication Errors
Prescribing the wrong medication or administering incorrect dosages can have serious consequences for dental patients. Allergic reactions, complications, or adverse side effects can occur when dental professionals fail to adhere to proper medication practices.
Negligent Treatment
Dentists are expected to provide a standard of care consistent with the accepted practices in the dental community. When a dentist deviates from this standard, and their actions result in harm to the patient, it may constitute negligence. This can include mistakes in treatment planning, failure to obtain informed consent, or improper execution of dental procedures.

If you believe you have been a victim of dental malpractice, it’s crucial to consult with an experienced attorney like Cesar Zuniga, Esq. Our legal team will conduct a thorough investigation, working with dental experts to assess the standard of care provided and identify any deviations that may have led to your injuries.
Compensation in dental malpractice cases may cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the malpractice. In cases of severe misconduct, punitive damages may also be pursued to hold the negligent party accountable for their actions.
