Failing to diagnose oral cancer
Failing to diagnose oral cancer is a serious breach of the standard of care that can lead to the patients death. Early diagnosis is crucial to improving the life expectancy of the patient. Dentists are trained that all suspicious lesions present in the patient’s oral cavity for longer than two weeks MUST be biopsied. Time to treatment initiation has a direct effect on the life expectancy of the patient.
Oral cancer can be aggressive and early diagnosis is critical.
No dental care should result in injury to the patient.
Dental injuries, whether from inadequate doctor or staff training, or negligent care, can result in loss of teeth, loss of bone of the jaws, permanent nerve damage, infection, hospitalization, brain damage and death.
